On behalf of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society and the Focus Meeting Co-Chairs, Fabio Sciarretta and Rene Verdonk, we would like to invite you to participate in and support the ICRS Focus Meeting “ALLOGRAFTS & SYNTHETICS ON THE FRONTSTAGE”. The meeting is intended to discuss and explore as many repair strategies as possible in order to give the delegate a comprehensive review of all the current options available.

With this in mind, if you wish you could also provide suggestions for potential speakers until October 20, latest since we need to define the agenda and speakers by the end of October. We are still looking for potential speakers that have in-depth knowledge and experience of your products and are capable of providing an engaging and informative talk. We would like speakers to discuss the theory behind the intervention, its indications for use, a summary of the clinical results and discuss the reasoning behind choosing your product as their principal method of cartilage repair. Ideally, we would like 2-3 candidates in case your primary suggestion is unavailable.

We hope following the interactive and comprehensive agenda delegates will leave fully informed regarding all current treatment options available and thus able to determine how best to conduct their practice moving forward. We are excited over the prospect of this very unique meeting and we hope you will join us and be a part of it. We thank you for your time and help and look forward to hearing from you in the near future. As an important supplier of cartilage repair & regeneration products, we would be grateful for your support.
