Orthopaedic Research Society ORS Annual Meeting-2025
Our team had a strong presence at this year’s Orthopaedic Research Society ORS Annual meeting, showcasing innovative work in growth plate injury repair.
Feb 1, 2025
Dr. Pochih Shen, research fellow in the group, presented his study titled “3D-Printed Growth Plate Mimetic Composite Mitigates Early Growth Deformities in a Rabbit Model.” His talk was followed by Dr. Ana Ferreira Ruble, who shared her latest work on “Optimization of a 3D-Printed Growth Plate Mimetic Composite for the Treatment of Growth Plate Injuries.” Dr. Fischenich contributed two poster presentations highlighting key advances in tissue analysis: “Comparison of Decalcification Solutions to Optimize Demineralization Rate of Rabbit Knee Joint Tissues” and “Bone Orientation of Repair Tissue Is Altered After Growth Plate Injury Treated with a 3D-Printed Biomimetic Composite”. Dr. Payne delivered a spotlight presentation, providing an overview of our group’s contributions to the field with her talk on “Biomaterial-Based Cartilage Regeneration Approaches for the Repair of Growth Plate Injuries.”
We thoroughly enjoyed the cutting‑edge science showcased throughout the meeting, the opportunity to connect with new colleagues, and time spent with our outstanding collaborators from CU Boulder.
