Orthoplastics to Join the Global Ortho Community at AAOS 2026
We are excited to announce that Orthoplastics will once again be exhibiting at the AAOS 2026 Annual Meeting, the leading event for orthopaedic surgery and innovation. This year’s meeting takes place March 2–6 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, and it is shaping up to be a fantastic week of learning, new ideas and industry connections.
As a global manufacturer of implantable-grade plastics for the medical sector, Orthoplastics is proud to be part of an event that brings together surgeons, specialists and technology leaders from across the world.
AAOS is where people come to share knowledge, explore new technology, and participate in hands-on, expert-led education that spans every orthopaedic speciality. It is an event built around one shared goal: improving patient care.
See what’s new for AAOS 2026
AAOS 2026 is introducing several changes to make the experience easier and more rewarding for attendees. The focus this year is on giving people more time to learn, more freedom to explore topics that matter most to them and a smoother way to plan each day.
One of the biggest updates is that ICL sessions are now included with registration, helping delegates build a richer and more flexible learning programme across multiple areas of interest. The move to standard 60-minute sessions also helps simplify schedules, reduce clashes and create more breathing space between sessions.
With more educational content and more time dedicated to exploring the Exhibit Hall, AAOS 2026 gives attendees even more opportunity to discover new ideas, meet new people and take something genuinely useful back to their teams.
Speaking about what AAOS means to Orthoplastics, Managing Director Rodney Crooks said:
“AAOS is always one of the most important events of the year for us. It’s where the global orthopaedic community comes together to learn, share and explore what’s next. We are proud to be part of AAOS 2026, and we’re really looking forward to the conversations, the connections and the innovation that make this meeting so special.”
