Latest Alliance research at the 2024 ORS Annual Meeting

February 02, 2024

Related To: Events

The Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance will be sharing research that touches on many aspects of human performance—from meniscus replacement to female athlete recovery after injury—at the 2024 Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California, from February 2 to 6.

A complete list of all Alliance presentations and posters is provided below.

We hope to connect with you in Long Beach!
