A 2026 Perspective on Orthopaedic Implant Evaluation: Benchtop Testing and Retrieval Analysis
12:00 – 1:00 pm Central Time
Hosted by the Orthopaedic Implants Research Section, this webinar will introduce attendees to the current state of experimental (benchtop) testing of orthopaedic implants. Attendees will gain an overview of modern methods and regulatory considerations, and the reality of balancing innovation with established standards. In addition, discussion includes the challenge of associating experimental methods with clinically observed failure modes. We encourage all attendees who are active in either developing or applying test methods associated with implants to attend.
3 Minute Pitch Competition
12:00 – 1:30 pm Central Time
Participants will have three minutes to present their work using one slide about what they are working on and why it is important to the field of research bone regeneration, fracture repair, trauma or related. Following each three-minute presentation, two minutes are allowed for one question from the audience or judges. Presentations are meant to emphasize the impact of the work and should not be data heavy. Selected participants will be expected to present the summation of body of work from their graduate or post-graduate training completed over multiple years, not necessarily an individual project. The winner will be featured by the ISFR Communication Committee and will receive a $500 prize. Learn more and submit here.
