ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS) announced today its fall lineup of popular orthopedic and cartilage regeneration conferences, which will include San Diego.
The global summit — the 5th Annual ICRS Summit & Exhibition: Bio-Orthopedics In Sports Medicine — will take place January 17-18, 2019. Hundreds of attendees from 40 countries will learn the latest in orthopedic repairs, stem cells, growth factors, bioactive composites and new surgical techniques. Discounted Early Bird Registration expires midnight, Oct. 30. https://cartilage.org/sandiego. Event hotel: Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina, San Diego.
Companies with technologies that can diagnose, rehabilitate, repair, protect or regenerate cartilaginous surfaces of joints (stem cells, growth factors, PRP, bioactive composites, synthetics, scaffolds, allografts and combinations) are supporting this important event for professionals and key decision-makers in clinical cartilage repair and basic cartilage research.
Biologic regeneration, a hot topic, has many claims of success, but few areas where that success is universally accepted. The “bioconcept,” although not new, represents a highly-developing component in practicing modern orthopedics and sports medicine. Using biologics for injured skeletal tissue has slowly developed. Are these new materials and treatment algorithms finally ready for implementation?
The constantly evolving field of bio-orthopedics is the main focus — an overview of emerging orthobiologic approaches for musculoskeletal pathologies and sports medicine. Indications and limits of PRP, stem cells, scaffolds, bone marrow concentrate, adipose tissue and many other new treatments are discussed by key opinion leaders from many countries.
ICRS FOCUS MEETING; MILAN, ITALY; DEC. 13-14, 2018
Cutting-edge topics examine the current state of the art in: growth factors, scaffolds, cells and other joint preservation techniques for OA. Internationally-renowned specialists examine what is coming from the bench: GFs and MSC applications, biomarkers, unloading approaches, bone marrow edema, novel MR imaging methods and injectable biologic products. https://cartilage.org/icrs-focus-meeting-milan
