As the world’s largest medical association of musculoskeletal specialists, the AAOS continues our commitment to deliver accurate and evidence-based information to advance the quality of musculoskeletal health. Efforts related to orthobiologics and musculoskeletal care and treatment are intended to help guide orthopaedic surgeons and vastly improve patient care within the biologics space.

The AAOS Biologics Symposium, OrthoBiologics and the Modern Athlete—Optimizing Evidence, Recovery, and Return to Play, returned to the AOSSM Annual Meeting on July 8, 2026, in Seattle, WA, with an all‑new lineup of expert faculty, emerging research, and practical insights. Co‑chaired by Jason Dragoo, MD, FAAOS and Scott Rodeo, MD, FAAOS, this full‑day, pre‑meeting workshop took an in‑depth look at how biologics are shaping the current and future landscape of sports medicine.
