Research the 'consumer resource' research page will summarize the risk and benefits of different interventional orthopedic treatments based upon our in-house research studies. We anticipate this empirically-derived information to help both consumers and physicians determine the best course of interventional treatment. Annual conference the conference is designed to be the premier international event for leaders in regenerative interventional orthopedic medicine. The venue is designed for physicians, representing academic and clinical research programs, and biotechnology industry interests. Held annually, this conference seeks to advance the specialty of interventional orthopedics and spur innovation through the sharing of scientific discoveries, best clinical practices, new business models, and patient outcomes.
