New in this year’s ISTS conference are poster pitches in the plenary sessions. A selection from the accepted posters will have a chance to pitch their poster and get people interested to come to their poster.

Congratulations to all accepted abstracts for ISTS2018! A great number of 126 abstracts have been accepted, 40 of those for an oral presentation. Many interesting studies will be presented in September!

If you are a clinician-researcher interested in tendon problems this is an ideal meeting. @ISTS2018 Here's the link ow.ly/zZLE30jZTdy Terrific to see friend Prof Graham Riley as a keynote speaker.

Next to all the tendon specific presentations on ISTS 2018, there will also be “What can we learn from ...” sessions. In these sessions, specialists in the field of osteo-arthritis and spondylo-arthritis will show us what we can learn from those injuries for tendons.

We have decided to extend the abstract submission deadline to 13 May. See ists2018.com for submission details. #ists2018
