Research Development Committee
AAOS Research Symposia: Tissue Engineering in Musculoskeletal Clinical Practice
- Principal Investigators: Linda J. Sandell, PhD and Alan J. Grodzinsky, ScD
- Dates: January 16-19, 2003
- Participants: Leading authorities in the biological, clinical, and business aspects of tissue engineering including research scientists from the disciplines of molecular biology, bioengineering, and materials sciences, and clinicians in the surgical practices of orthopaedics, plastics, and dental surgery
- Purpose of Workshop: Bring to the clinical field the advances that have been made in the field of musculoskeletal tissue engineering as it relates to clinical practice
Overview of Topics:
- Issues relating to producing a tissue engineered product (To the Market) and the application to clinical practice (To the Clinic)
- Areas of tissue engineering most likely to be used in clinical practice in the next few years – cartilage, bone, tendon and ligament
- Abstracts are available in the Orthopaedic Knowledge Online Virtual Bookstore.
