OVERVIEW

The 33rd Congress of the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty will take place August 31 – September 3, 2022. In order to be convenient for ISTA’s important constituencies from Asia and Australia, an accessible and convenient location in Hawaii has been selected at the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa in Maui, Hawaii, USA. Extremely favorable room rates have been secured (one of the few beneficial effects of the pandemic), and convenient flights are available from virtually everywhere in the world.

As the first in-person International Congress for ISTA after the pause dictated by the world-wide pandemic, it will be an extraordinary opportunity to gather and discuss the many new developments in technologies related to arthroplasty. Some have been driven by the exigencies imposed by the recent crisis. The meeting include presentations on:

• Outpatient arthroplasty – new technologies and best practices
• Technologies to increase efficiency through AI-powered documentation of surgery and clinic
• Wearable and Smartphone technologies for patient engagement, instruction, and monitoring
• AI-driven patient instruction to engage patients in rehab, and optimize patient expectations of ‎outcomes
• Remote monitoring of patient recovery and rehabilitation providing real-time team notification of deviations requiring clinical attention
• Instrumented and smart implants for validation and improvement of implant design and surgical technique
• Advances in robotics and smart instruments for accuracy and time/cost savings
• Automated collection and aggregation of patient and implant data to validate performance of implants and techniques
• New technologies to decrease cost and empower delivery of arthroplasty to underserved communities around the world

Please remember to save the dates (August 31 – September 3, 2022) for this important meeting. Look for information coming soon for abstract submission, reservations, and sponsorship opportunities. This promises to be a cost-effective opportunity to forge and renew international collaborations with colleagues working at the leading edge of technology from across the globe.
