The Call for Late Breaking Abstract Submissions Now Closed

You can still be a participant in the ORS 2025 Annual Meeting! The ORS Scientific Program Committee invites you to submit a Late Breaking abstract.

Late Breaking abstract submission closed on Monday, November 11 (11:59 PM Pacific).

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 26, 2024, abstract submission deadline.

  • Work that has been accepted prior to the ORS late-breaking submission deadline of November 11, 2024, for publication as a manuscript or will be presented prior to the ORS meeting in February 2025 is ineligible for consideration. Please note: Abstracts presented at an ORS regional/satellite meeting, i.e., Tendon Conference, PSRS, 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 26.
  • 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.
  • There is a $45.00 non-refundable fee to submit a late breaking abstract.
  • Acceptance notices for Late Breaking abstracts will be sent on December 4.
