17th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS)

17th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) is organized by Conventus Congressmanagement & Marketing GmbH and would be held during Jun 14 - 17, 2017 at Eurogress Aachen, Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.

Topics :
• Model based Computer Integrated Personalised Orthopaedics
• Computer Assisted Personalized Musculo-Sceletal Biomechanics
• Model based prevention & conservative therapy,
• personalised therapy (strategies, surgical planning, smart surgical devices, navigation and robotics); personalized implants and instruments
• personalized model based rehabilitation
• Usability Engineering and Work flow integration; Surgical Monitoring
• Additive manufacturing („3D-printing“) & rapid manufacturing in CAOS
• OR.NET - Secure dynamic networks („IOT“) in OR and clinic
• Medical Apps for CAOS

Objectives :
• State-of the-art systems in CAOS (ankle, knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow, hand, oncology,…(incl. deformity correction & replacement), planning, navigation, PSI, smart instruments & robotics, …)
• Critical review of clinical trends and results
• Quality control in and with CAOS (Surgical Monitoring)
• CAOS – a tool in Education & Training
• CAOS in basic medical research (calcification & osteophytes, tissue engineering, ligaments,…“surgical“ biomechanics, …invivo-studies/sensorintegrated implants,….hygiene, radiation, invasivity, …, case databasis, statistical modelling,…)
• New technical tools, components and developments (sensors & actuators, robotics,…)
• Open source software (image processing tools, registration, algorithms, statistical modelling…, biomechanics,…)
• Imaging for CAOS & new developments & trends: (Fluoro, CT, MRI, US, OCT, Elastography, upright/dynamic imaging,…)
