What I Saw at AAOS

A look at the newest products for orthopedic surgery.

Shelley Herlihy, RN, and Pam Pope, RN

If you want to see the latest and greatest in orthopedic surgery equipment, implants and technology, the best place to see it is the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons annual meeting. But if you didn't have the time to get away to Washington, D.C., in February, or if you just didn't make it all the way through the two exhibit halls, don't sweat it. We did the legwork for you - literally - visiting the vendors to find what's new for outpatient orthopedic surgery applications since last year's show. Here's your tour of the floor, broken into nine sections:

  • Power tools
  • ACL navigation
  • Arthroscopy pumps
  • Autoclavable cameras
  • OR tables
  • Pins and screws
  • Plate systems
  • Sutures, suture passers, suture anchors
  • Other supplies and equipment
