We’re excited to be back at the AAOS Annual Meeting 2026 in New Orleans, which is one of the best places to catch up on research and education in the orthopedic world.
Our founder, Dr William Andrew Hodge, says that "it’s always valuable to connect with surgeons at every stage of their careers, from seasoned professors to the newest trainees. There’s something to learn at every level, and many of the presenters are the very researchers behind the data. It’s a unique opportunity to have direct conversations with the people who designed the studies, gathered the information, and are advancing the field firsthand."
Our own research focuses primarily on clinical outcomes, carefully measuring how our patients are doing and identifying ways to continually improve their results. We’re also evaluating emerging surgical technologies that can help surgeons deliver more precise, efficient care while enhancing the overall patient experience.
