Crowds filled every seat — and then some — at last year’s OrthoDome. This year’s event will be even more immersive.

The AAOS Annual Meeting is the global center of innovation in orthopaedics. Whether it’s technology, surgical techniques, or clinical research, the cutting edge of the specialty is here, offering attendees an opportunity to enhance their practice with the latest knowledge.
OrthoDome provides a front-row view of innovative orthopaedic surgical techniques in a uniquely immersive environment. Located in OrthoLive, OrthoDome combines high-definition video, expert narration, and a theater-style setting to deliver an engaging and practical learning experience.
Designed to bring surgical education to life, OrthoDome features 4K, large-format video presentations of procedures and technologies that allow you to clearly see critical details. Presentations are narrated live by leading orthopaedic surgeons, providing real-time insights into decision making, techniques, and applications in clinical practice.
See innovation in action
OrthoDome showcases a range of orthopaedic procedures and medical devices, highlighting how new technologies and techniques are applied in real-world settings. The immersive format allows attendees to focus on the procedure itself - without distractions - making it easier to understand complex steps and surgical nuances. OrthoDome brings together high-quality surgical videos from expert surgeons, leading institutions, industry, and user-submitted content. The result is a dynamic educational experience that blends innovation with practical instruction.
Whether the goal is to explore new surgical approaches, evaluate emerging devices, or deepen understanding of complex procedures, OrthoDome provides a high-impact environment to experience surgical education at the Annual Meeting. OrthoDome sessions are open to Annual Meeting attendees and can be found in the Annual Meeting Mobile App, where attendees can view session times and add presentations to their schedules.
