Surgeons and investigators from Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedics bring their leading-edge expertise in treatment and the latest clinical research to the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) in San Francisco February 12-16.
Abstracts from Cedars-Sinai orthopedic surgeons and researchers will address the latest trends in wearable health technology, using artificial intelligence in spine surgeries, parental leave in orthopedics, injectables in the management of osteoarthritis of the knee; and geriatric hip fracture patients’ length of stay.
During the conference, Cedars-Sinai physicians and scientists are available to comment on the findings of their research as well as on a wide range of orthopedic-related topics, including orthopedic trauma, limb reconstruction, sports medicine, orthobiologics, and racial, ethnic and gender diversity in the field of orthopedics.
Below is information on notable conference podium and poster presentations by Cedars-Sinai specialists in orthopedic medicine.
