This meeting is privileged to mark the Silver 25th year Jubilee Anniversary of the founding of our Society. Several events are planned to commemorate its origin, reflect on its past and current achievements, and plan the future promises of CAOS international. Our professional field has been reinvigorated in the last years by the explosive development of robotics and sensor technology. The conference aims to capture the essence of the current trends and scientific progress to provide experts and newcomers with a clear synthesis of state-of-the-art information. The keynote speakers are recognized leaders, whose work has inspired and galvanized ongoing research in the technological contribution to orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation medicine.
The astounding progress in robotics and sensors will be presented by champions and debated by traditionalists. From an original historical focus on Computer Assisted Navigation, the Society now seeks to expand its mandate to include the essential fields of advanced medical imaging, mathematical modelling, individual biometrics of gait and soft tissue characteristics, and peri-operative objective functional outcomes. The critical role of the economics of advanced technology research and development will be the topic of expert panel debates. Pre-conference workshops will provide a dynamic and interactive opportunity to explore emerging, promising, or controversial subject matters such as Same Day Surgery, or privacy of functional monitoring.
The social events will reflect the character of our beloved city. Lively, exciting, and memorable. Participants are encouraged to schedule extra time to enjoy all that New York has to offer: From the cultural scene of street artists to Broadway, museums and Lincoln Center for the performing arts, from vibrant nightlife to daytime park activities, from esoteric markets to the best shopping in the world.
CAOS International 2019 promises to be an exceptionally good meeting.
Submission Guidelines
Papers are expected to demonstrate novelty by arguing that there is a gap in existing literature that the presented work addresses and to present data to support any conclusions drawn.
You will be asked to submit two files, for which templates are available:
- Main paper (500-1000 words), in PDF format, details below
- Bone and Joint Journal abstract (250 words), in PDF format, which will be published in their online "Orthopaedic Proceedings" for all accepted podium presentations (see details below)
All papers will be required to include at least three references in the Introduction to establish the need for and novelty of the work, and at least two references in the discussion section to establish the significance of the findings compared with the existing literature. Papers should be 500-1000 words in length (excluding references and title block). Only two graphics are allowed, each of which can be a picture, a diagram or a table. The use of collages (multi-part figures) is permitted, as long as the text is legible and the graphics are clear. Please try to limit formatting complexity and make sure to embed text labels within diagrams and pictures. These images will be used without change in the final digital proceedings.
We especially encourage young researchers to take part in the conference. Accordingly, some preference will be given to presenting authors who do not yet hold (or have only very recently taken up) faculty appointments or post-graduation industry
