6th ICRS Summit 2022

“Joint Preservation - Where we are in 2022” — this was the motto under which experts met in Miami from November 17 — 19, 2022 for the ICRS — International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society Summit.

This year, everything revolves around joint maintenance - especially for young, active patients who want to maintain an active lifestyle and maintain their natural joint function even after treatment.

The aim of the summit was to encourage young surgeons to treat their patients using techniques that have been developed in cartilage regeneration over the last 20 years since the ICRS was established. This was also reflected in the program's priorities. These included cartilage damage and early arthritis, orthobiological treatment options, variables in the treatment of joint damage, MACI & ACI, dealing with concomitant pathology, radiological evaluation and even stem cells. Over the three days, numerous key notes, presentations and discussions will address developments in this field.
