The International Symposium on Translational Research in Orthopaedics, held on 23 October 2024, had a significant impact on the field of orthopaedics. Co-organised by the Department of Orthopaedics & Traumatology at HKU and The Joint Laboratory for Biomaterials of SIAT-HKU-CUHK, the symposium brought together leading experts to share their latest research and innovations. The event facilitated knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals, fostering a deeper understanding of translational research in orthopaedics.
Key presentations included discussions on the role of lymphatics in joint health, innovative interventions in musculoskeletal aging, and the central neural regulation of bone metabolism. The symposium also highlighted novel approaches to tackling clinical challenges, such as enhanced bacterial clearance in bone canaliculi and the major causes of osteoporotic fractures.
Overall, the symposium provided a platform for advancing orthopaedic research and clinical practice, promoting the development of new treatments and improving patient outcomes.
