REVIEW 2018

For four days Leipzig was entirely devoted to technical orthopaedics. More than 570 exhibitors from 43 countries - from market leaders to start-ups - presented world premieres and innovations at OTWorld 2018. At its world meeting, the industry was in an excellent position for the future: Digitisation and 3D printing were everywhere, whether in orthotics and prosthetics, rehabilitation technology, compression therapy or orthopaedic footwear technology. International experts - from physicians to prosthetists and orthotists to engineers - discussed advanced treatment methods and presented groundbreaking technologies. The focus was on the interprofessional transfer of knowledge for the benefit of the patient. With a total of 21,400 visitors from over 90 countries, the international trade show and World Congress once again set new benchmarks.
