International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society

The ICRS is the main forum for international collaboration in cartilaginous tissue research and joint preservation.

The ICRS is a charitable medical association, founded in 1997 and envisages the scientific research and the exchange of knowledge among physicians, scientists, patients and industry in the field of Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Recognizing that there is a continuum from cartilage injury to degenerative joint disease we bring together basic scientists, clinical researchers, physicians

, other healthcare providers and members of industry, engaged or interested in the field of articular biology, its genetic basis and regenerative medicine. We seek to improve our patients´ quality of life, decrease their disability and reduce the impact of degenerative joint disease on healthcare systems worldwide by preserving joints and maintaining function. The Society has currently 1200 active members from 65 countries. Our Mission is: Advancing Science & Education of the Prevention & Treatment of Cartilage Disease Worldwide

Orthobiologics are playing an increasingly important role in joint preservation, but with an expanding range of treatment options come important questions.
Which therapies are supported by evidence?
Which patients are most likely to benefit? And what novel biologics are on the horizon?

At the 8th ICRS Summit Porto, explore the science behind orthobiologic therapies, with a focus on:
• Evidence-based therapies
• Patient selection
• Clinical outcomes
• Novel biologics

The Right Biologic for the Right Patient.

Patellofemoral pain + chondromalacia. What’s your next move?

It’s a familiar presentation, but the treatment decision isn’t always straightforward. When is conservative management enough? When should you consider debridement? What role do alignment and cartilage treatment play?

At the ICRS Focus Meeting Chicago, real patient cases are the starting point for practical discussion and clinical decision-making. Through case-based presentations, re-live surgical videos and expert exchange, we’ll explore not only what can be done, but which treatment, for which patient, and when.

You don’t have to be a cartilage specialist to treat patients with cartilage problems.

Real Cases. Real Decisions. Real Outcomes.
