EFORT Educational Webinar: Digitalisation and AI in Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Key Insights & Future Trends from 3 leading conferences

Stay up-to-date with the most current trends in the fast-evolving field of AI and applications in O&T.

As artificial intelligence and digital health continue to reshape musculoskeletal care, staying at the forefront of technological integration is vital for the modern orthopaedic surgeon and researcher. Organised by the Basic research group (BRG) of EFORT’s Education Committee, this interactive webinar bridges research, engineering, and clinical implementation by synthesizing the main takeaways from three premier global conferences held in autumn 2026: ISTA 2026 (Munich, Germany), EORS 2026 (Madrid, Spain), and DOCSF 2026 (San Francisco, USA).

Through focused presentations from international leaders, participants will explore the trajectory of digital innovation—from smart arthroplasty implants and basic research AI models to translational agentic AI tools transforming daily clinical workflows.
The objectives of this webinar are to:

• Evaluate Latest Arthroplasty and AI Innovations (ISTA 2026): Gain insights into state-of-the-art technological advancements, smart sensor integrations, and AI applications in joint replacement directly from key contributors to ISTA 2026 in Munich.
  
  
• Understand Translational AI Research (EORS 2026):Examine critical lessons learned and emerging research paradigms regarding AI in basic science, tissue engineering, and preclinical musculoskeletal models presented at EORS 2026 in Madrid.
  
  
• Identify Global Trends in Clinical AI Deployment (DOCSF 2026): Analyse cutting-edge developments from Silicon Valley and Europe, focusing on: Synthesize Practical Insights for Daily Practice: Connect high-level conference findings to everyday orthopaedic and trauma care and Identifying actionable tools and future-oriented strategies to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes
