Arthrex, a global leader in minimally invasive surgical technology, announced a partnership with the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS), building on a long-standing collaboration and strengthening efforts to advance cartilage restoration and joint preservation worldwide.

“Joint preservation plays a critical role in helping patients maintain mobility and function. Arthrex is committed to advancing the technologies and clinical education that support surgeons in delivering innovative joint preservation solutions,” said Jake Jolly, Arthrex senior director of knee and hip arthroscopy product management.

As a Diamond Partner of ICRS, Arthrex will support the society’s educational activities, scientific meetings, surgical skills training and collaborative initiatives that promote knowledge-sharing and professional development within the global joint preservation community.

“We are very excited about this future partnership and look forward to innovative new initiatives growing out of this commitment,” said Christian Lattermann, MD, ICRS President 2025-2027.

The collaboration comes as Arthrex continues to expand its joint preservation portfolio. Recent advancements include the launch of the ChondralTak™ technique, the first cartilage fixation device to be introduced to the market in 23 years, and patient-specific
