Define the field
Advance a coherent scientific identity for Orthopedic Device Engineering.
A new international forum. A founding conversation.
The inaugural International Conference on Orthopedic Device Engineering is being planned as a focused, one-day virtual scientific meeting in April 2027.
The first edition
Introducing ODE 2027.
The conference is intended to bring orthopedic surgeons, biomechanical engineers, device designers, materials scientists, researchers, and medical technology innovators into a shared scientific dialogue.
