The selection of patients for surgical or conservative therapy is one of the most important points when it comes to the chance of a good treatment outcome. While in recent years, the focus of scientific events has often been on new therapeutic procedures and surgical techniques, we would like to devote ourselves precisely to the topic of “patient profiling” at an ICRS Focus Meeting in Munich from 12-14 December 2024 … from anamnesis and psychology to imaging and innovative and new approaches to better characterize patients before a possible operation. The 2-day meeting will be complemented by a supplementary meeting on Saturday, December 14, which will focus on the specifics of treating cartilage damage in children and adolescents.

With these topics, we hope to be able to organize an attractive congress in Munich in December that will bring together surgeons with an interest in cartilage regenerative therapy and joint preservation and that will be of great value due to the special nature of the topic. With the targeted “Focus”, the meeting joins the successful series of ICRS Focus Meetings, bringing this series back to Germany for the first time in many years.

On behalf of the scientific management, we would like to cordially invite you to participate in Munich. The possibilities for involvement range from sponsorship for the pure visibility of your support to presence with an exhibition stand to active participation with your own workshops.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
