International Consensus Meeting on Preclinical Models of Osteoarthritis
Friday, March 27
2:00 to 6:00 PM EST

Following the Spotlight Session on Preclinical Models of Osteoarthritis (OA) at the ORS 2025 Annual Meeting, which focused on several controversial topics in this field, the Journal of Orthopaedic Research (JOR) was approached by several ORS members expressing interest in an International Consensus Meeting (ICM) on five topics within preclinical OA: Aging, Post-Traumatic OA (PTOA), Pain, Obesity, and Microbiome.

These key opinion leaders are managing a year-long Delphi process for the 2026 ICM, which will finish with in-person and virtual voting on ~80 questions at the ORS 2026 Annual Meeting, International Consensus Meeting on Preclinical Models of Osteoarthritis, Friday, March 27 from 2:00 to 6:00 PM EST in Charlotte, NC. Only registered Delegates will be allowed to vote, and the voting results, with interpretations of the greatest research priorities within these topics, will be published in Consensus Articles in JOR.

Stay tuned on a schedule of the questions with the Liaison who will make a 2-minute presentation on the Recommendation with Rationale from a systematic review of the literature.
