Huge congratulations to our very own Neil Patel for winning one of the prestigious @OrsMeniscus Awards. Neil's work shows collagen V regulates nascent matrix templating and cell-mediated reorganization in embryonic meniscus. #ORS2026 @ORSsociety

Congratulations to @AhmetEngin51586 for winning 🥇 at the @ORSsociety Tendon Section elevator pitch! 

Today marks our final lap at #ORS2026 in Charlotte, NC. Over the past four days, we have truly embodied this year’s theme: Driving Research to Fuel Discovery. We hope you leave energized, inspired, and ready to keep driving research forward.

A sincere thank you to our exceptional speakers for sharing thoughtful, practical, and forward-looking perspectives on translating innovation into real-world military care at #ORS2026. The conversation highlighted not only the importance of objective, data-driven approaches, but also the structural and cultural shifts needed to make these technologies scalable and impactful. Looking forward to advancing meaningful change in MSK care. #Orthopaedics #MSK #MilitaryMedicine #Innovation #MedTech #IC #ORS_Innovation_Committee #MilMed @ORSsociety #ORS_IC

☀️Day 4 #ORS2026! Do you have these bone-fracture related talks on your schedule? If you would like to be more involved with ISFR, get to know ISFR leadership and connect with other ISFR members, don't forget to stop by in 📍 E216 AB today at ⏰ 11.45 AM! Bring your lunch🍔!

I'm proud of our team from @MU_MCW_BME and @shrinershosp for their presentations on pediatric weightbearing CT and musculoskeletal modeling at #ors2026. We also hosted our annual foot & ankle RIG that had some amazing discussions between scientists, clinicians, and industry.

Grateful to have presented at the #ORS2026 Annual Meeting this week. Really enjoyed the opportunity to discuss our works, and connect with others in orthopaedics. Thankful for the mentorship behind this project - excited to keep building in orthopaedic research. @ORSsociety

Our lab was hard at work at the #ORS2026 conference! 🚀💪 Jamshid Tadiwala crushed the podium talk and the squad - Avantika Jain, Amelia Ridolfo and Rebecca Sheetz killed it with amazing poster presentations 🔥 @ORSsociety

Powerful Plenary Session yesterday at #ORS2026 featuring an inspiring Fireside Chat with Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick, joined by ORS Board President Dr. Suzanne Maher, highlighting leadership across medicine, education, and advocacy. bit.ly/4bmvMmc

Come see us at #ORS2026 and learn about the exciting proteomics research we’re undertaking. Visit poster #1706 during PS2-146 from 4:45-5:30 pm today and talk to PhD Michael Floren about our findings on amniotic membrane bioscaffolds. #orthoresearch #orthopaedics @ORSsociety

As part of the Innovation Committee’s tradition of Unmet Needs sessions, and in honor of @MilOrtho joining #ORS2026 as the Guest Clinical Society, IC organized a session on Addressing Unmet Needs in Military MSK Innovation on March 30.

Day 4 of #ORS2026 is underway! We were happy to kick off the morning by hosting the ICORS Meeting, bringing together global #orthopaedic research leaders to spark collaboration. ors.org/icors/

The RIG on breakthrough biomaterials featured 3 excellent talks on the latest in VML research! Cherry on the cake was an excited and engaged audience. Plus, we officially launched the skeletal muscle research section @ORSsociety

We are so thrilled about launching the skeletal muscle research section at @ORSsociety and bringing this community together! The inaugural social event was a success! Looking forward to exciting opportunities and collaborations!

Outstanding presentation by Tony Yosick at the Bone Quality RIG at #ORS2026! CNN-driven analysis of full-spectrum Raman spectroscopy from the proximal phalanx shows strong promise for non-invasive assessment of bone quality and fracture risk, capturing what #DXA and #FRAX miss.

Hands down, the highlight of the @ORSsociety annual meeting: the undergraduate poster session. In a time of uncertainty, this room is buzzing with energy and pure optimism. The future of science is in good hands.

Stepping through #ORS2026 Day 3 with purpose 👟 Today is White Sneaker Day at the meeting. In recognition of the the @ASBMR White Sneakers Campaign, we are laced up to take a stand for #musculoskeletal health. Tag us with your White Sneaker looks!

If you are attending #ORS2026 in Charlotte, join the panel I organized with the #ORS_Innovation_Committee team, where I will be moderating: "Bridging Innovation and Reality: IoT, Rehabilitation, and Unmet Needs in Military MSK Care" Musculoskeletal injuries remain a leading cause of limited duty and long-term disability in active-duty service members, yet how we assess readiness and recovery has not kept pace with innovation. This session brings together leaders from clinical care, research, engineering, and industry to examine how we move beyond pilot studies and translate technology into real-world military care. We will discuss: Gaps in current return-to-duty decision frameworks Challenges in implementing connected technologies What it takes to make innovation scalable, usable, and impactful Featuring: Don Goss, PT, DPT, PhD, OCS, ATC, COL (Ret), US Army Womack Army Medical Center High Point University Josh Rabinowitz, CEO & Co-founder @ArticulateLabs Daniel Clifton PhD, ATC @USUhealthsci The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine Brian Baum, PhD MIT Lincoln Laboratory If you are interested in advancing musculoskeletal readiness and turning innovation into practice, I would be glad to see you there. @Orthokintrack @ORSsociety #MilMed #ORS_IC #Orthopedics #MSK #MedTech #DigitalHealth #Wearables #Rehabilitation #SportsMedicine #MilitaryHealth #HumanPerformance #HealthcareInnovation #TranslationalResearch #DefenseHealth #Startup #Innovation @MilOrtho

Honored and privileged to join the fellowship of current, past and future presidents of @ORSsociety at #ORS2026. I am in awe of the individual and collective accomplishments of this amazing group of leaders.
