Abstract Submission:

Opening Date: 1st February 2024

Closing Date: 15 April 2024

The International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA) invites you to submit abstracts and award papers for this year’s Annual Congress, which will take place at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Conference Center, Nashville, Tennessee from August 28 to August 31.

ISTA’s 35th Annual Congress in Nashville will serve as a welcome return of the world’s leading forum for surgeons, scientists, researchers, and industry members to present and critique the latest innovations in joint replacement technologies.

The theme for the meeting is ‘Technology versus Technique in Arthroplasty Outcomes’ and the program will highlight technological solutions to contemporary clinical problems of arthroplasty, though abstracts on all aspects of arthroplasty will be considered.
