It is with profound sadness that we learned of the passing of long time ICRS Honorary Member Dr. Alan Nixon. Alan was a giant in our field spanning not only cartilage research but encompassing his passion for equine surgery and his mentoring of a generation of large animal veterinarians.

On behalf of the ICRS Fellowship, Scholarship & Research Grant Committee, I am happy to congratulate the below 3 ICRS Members that have been selected as ICRS-JRF/CTS Clinical Travelling Fellows 2023 – USA Chapter!
Are you a young surgeon/researcher interested in joining the world of cartilage and joint preservation?
ICRS encourages you to join the upcoming ICRS Focus Meeting on Allografts & Synthetics! The ICRS Focus meeting will take place in Nice/France, from April 27-29, 2023. It will bring it all, from diagnostics to imaging to conservative and surgical treatments, including biology. As the knee is an “organ”, other issues like menisci and alignment will be part of this highly focused meeting supported by all partners. The programme focuses on the relationship between menisci and cartilage in the load-bearing joint, bringing long-term results in meniscal allograft transplantation. This ICRS Focus meeting will also discuss the latest on bone and ligament allografts and alternatives.

Last week we sadly lost another leader from within our cartilage and joint regeneration community. Dr. Gerard Malanga passed away on 15/05/22 surrounded by his family.
We, the leaders of the ICRS, have been following the tragic events leading up to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine over the last week. We are deeply concerned and disturbed by the aggression against a democratic country leading to significant loss of life, displacement of families and destruction.
It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic news of the sudden death of our ICRS Fellow Member Prof. Dr. Michael Buschmann, Eminent Scholar and Chair of Mason’s Bioengineering Department in the College of Engineering and Computing in Fairfax, Virginia, USA.
