You can still present your work at the ORS 2023 Annual Meeting! The ORS Scientific Program Committee invites you to submit a Late Breaking Abstract.

Late Breaking Abstract submission now closed. Thank you for your submissions!

Acceptance notices will go out November 30, 2022.

You will be using your ORS username and password to login. If you do not have an ORS username, you will have the opportunity to create one.

One Podium session will be dedicated to selected late breaking abstracts.

  • The late-breaking abstract submission allows for the submission of truly late-breaking scientific research for which no preliminary data were available at the time of the August 29, 2022, abstract submission deadline.
  • Work that has been accepted prior to the ORS late-breaking submission deadline of November 14, 2022, for publication as a manuscript or will be presented prior to the ORS meeting in February 2023 is ineligible for consideration. Please note: Abstracts presented at an ORS regional/satellite meetings do not fall under these guidelines.
  • This late breaking submission is not a mechanism to allow for updated data to complement preliminary research abstracts that were submitted by the general submission deadline of August 29.
  • Abstract must present results of work substantially performed prior to submission and no two abstracts that share one or more authors may overlap significantly in content. Abstract is based upon the best available evidence and does not promote or recommend relevant products or services as part of the abstract presentation.

A NEW topic Multi-Organ System Crosstalk has been added for 2023 submissions.

Education and Outreach
The purpose is to identify and understand the barriers to education and equality within the biomedical sciences field, specifically in musculoskeletal research. The research will focus on 1) barriers to education; 2) gaps in knowledge around the education, mentorship, and support for underrepresented minorities in musculoskeletal research; 3) recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities in musculoskeletal research; 4) outcomes of outreach programs aimed to reduce race and gender inequities in musculoskeletal research.

Submitting Your Abstracts

To start, submit or edit your abstract(s), you will need to login with your ORS username and password.  If you do not have an ORS username, you will have the opportunity to create one.

Once you are logged in, you will be redirected to the ORS 2023 Abstract Submission site. 

Abstract Submission Guidelines:

  • First write your abstract in Microsoft Word using Times New roman, 8-point font, 0.75” margins on all sides, following the ORS Formatting Guidelines.  A Template is available to create your abstract.
  • Be sure that all text (including title, authors and institutions, disclosures/COI, images and tables) fit onto one page.  3 images and/or tables are allowed per abstract.
  • If your research was approved by an IACUC/IRB or Ethics committee please state but you do not need to note the name. i.e.; This study was approved by IACUC. This study was approved by an Ethics Committee.
  • References to product names are allowed in abstract, but it is not necessary to include the city/state or country.
  • Once you have the one-page abstract, you can complete the online submission by copying and pasting the body of the abstract in the online submission pages.
  • Complete ALL steps of the online submission.
  • Be sure to upload images supporting your abstract.
  • Next save the file as a PDF.  PDF documents of accepted abstracts will be used on the ORS online abstract search and on the mobile app.
  • Upload the PDF of your complete abstract, including title, authors, author disclosures/conflict of interests, images, references and acknowledgements.
  • There will be a $35.00 non-refundable fee to submit your abstract for the ORS 2023 Annual Meeting.
  • Once you complete all the steps in the online submission and submit payment, you will receive a green message and check mark on the “Review My Work” screen indicating “Your submission is COMPLETE.”

Abstract Submission Deadline:  Monday, November 14, 2022

The last day to make edits to your late breaking abstract is November 14, 2022.  Please note: You WILL NOT be able to edit the late breaking abstract after the November 14, 2022, deadline even if the abstract is accepted.

Late Breaking Acceptance notices will be sent to presenting authors November 30, 2022.

For those who may have imposed travel restrictions (government or institutional) that would prevent in-person attendance at ORS 2023, ORS will provide opportunities for you to present your abstracts that will be accepted for presentation.

Those that are not able to travel for the ORS 2023 Annual Meeting will be given the opportunity to present your work.

Sharing your work is important! It’s important to you, to the field and to the mission of ORS: Accelerate musculoskeletal discovery to improve health

Abstracts accepted for a Poster Presentation

Poster Presenters will have the opportunity to display a poster in the Poster/Exhibit Hall. ORS is planning to secure a paid service that you can utilize to print and hang your poster.  All posters – whether authors are present in-person or have a poster printed and hung are encouraged to embed a QR code that leads to a self-recorded talk (3 minutes in length).  This adds a special value to you as an author and provides details of your presentation throughout the meeting.

Abstracts accepted for Podium Presentation

Podium presenters will have the opportunity to self-record your presentation, uploading your talk and having your talk be a part of the session your abstract was selected to appear.

We hope that by providing the options above we are meeting your needs to share your research.
