Tasto, Spahn and Andre Weimann, MD of Germany will also be presenting a series of lectures throughout the week focused on ArthroCare technologies.

"It's rewarding to be given the opportunity to demonstrate the sound science and innovative processes behind our technologies at such a far-reaching event," said Jack Giroux, President of ArthroCare Sports Medicine. "One of the nice things about ISAKOS as a group is that they constantly seek out the latest breakthroughs specific to arthroscopic and sports medicine procedures and work to spread the word of these technologies on a global level. That our Opus and Topaz technologies are generating such interest at this year's event is a strong indication of just how special these technologies are."
