International Conference on Orthopedics, Musculoskeletal Research and Innovation

This session follows an implant from materials science through manufacturing to the operating table, bringing together biomedical engineers, materials scientists, and implanting surgeons around the question of what makes a device actually work inside the body long-term.

Sub Tracks

• Implant Design and Biomechanical Testing
• 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing in Orthopedics
• Patient-Specific Instrumentation and Custom Implants
• Biomaterials for Orthopedic Devices
• Implant Surface Engineering and Osseointegration
• Regulatory Pathways for Novel Orthopedic Devices

Scientific Scope & Research Areas

Talks cover implant design principles and mechanical testing standards, the expanding role of additive manufacturing in producing patient-specific instrumentation and custom devices, and the materials science behind biocompatible implant construction. Further sessions examine surface engineering techniques that influence bone integration, and the regulatory pathways new devices must clear before reaching clinical use.

What Will I Gain?

Engineers and surgeons alike gain insight into how implant design choices translate into clinical performance, along with a practical understanding of 3D printing's current capabilities and limitations in producing patient-specific devices. Delegates involved in device development gain clearer visibility into the regulatory process from concept to approval.

Why Participate?

• For clinicians, the track builds understanding of the evidence behind implant materials and manufacturing choices.
• For researchers and engineers, it's a chance to exchange biomaterials and testing methodologies and identify collaborators.
• For early-career investigators, it offers a platform to present device-focused research with feedback from surgeons and engineers alike.
• For institutions and manufacturers, it creates opportunities to showcase development capabilities and build regulatory and R&D partnerships.
