Excellence in innovation on display.

This popular format offers the opportunity to learn about the AO Technical Commission's most recently approved medical devices and explore hot topics in trauma and orthopedic surgery. The sessions showcase the clinical benefits of innovative devices and surgical techniques which are so new that they have not yet been included in AO course programs.

In an engaging series of stage shows featuring practical demonstrations, expert surgeons directly involved in the development of new implants and instruments present clinical cases and explain the benefits of these solutions to patient care.
