Thank you to everyone who participated in AAOS Registries activities at the Annual Meeting. Here's a glimpse of the incredible moments we shared onsite:

• Engagement Theater Presentations offered insights on device survivorship, quality outcomes, and using registry data for practice improvement. Slide decks from select presentations are available below.
• Education Sessions dove into the future of the AAOS Registry Portfolio and the pivotal role of registries in enhancing quality of patient care.
• Papers and Posters showcased diverse research findings, from the impact of gender and fixation on surgical outcomes to the role of robotic assistance in reducing early revisions.
• The AAOS/FDA Town Hall featured discussions on the use of real-world evidence for product development, highlighting the significance of diverse registry data.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication to advancing orthopaedic research and practice quality! We are looking forward to seeing you at the AAOS 2025 Annual Meeting, March 10-14 in San Diego.
