ESSKA 2026

May 20-22, Prague

Visit our booth, join surgeon-led sessions and experience technology that takes the limits off living. All at the European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy annual meeting, May 20-22.

Focused on your patients’ Life Unlimited

Why attend a global tradeshow to hear about ‘standard’ care, the current status quo, or what you already know? Our future-focused approach involves technology that takes the limits off living, fuelled by expert insights, to do things differently and help your patients reclaim their Life Unlimited.

Here’s what to expect

Join surgeon-led lunchtime sessions

A comprehensive win in knee repair

Your definitive partner for meniscus, ligament and cartilage repair

There’s no room for compromise or resting on convention when surgeons have their sights set on improvements. Whether it’s having an all-suture answer to all meniscal tears (capsular and non-capsular), reimagining reconstruction of knee ligaments, or understanding why evidence keeps pointing to a more effective cartilage repair approach^*1,2 (vs the current standard), there’s no need to accept current limitations.

Check out the key sessions and technology highlights to make the most of your event.

Skill amplified

The place to experience handheld robotics and advanced implant science

Nothing can replace a surgeons’ skill and intuition, but what if something could take it to another level? When you step into our booth, step into a world where knowledge and expertise are elevated by image-free or image-based pre-operative planning, advanced tools for resection and gap balancing, and an implant portfolio with a track record of evidence-based performance.

For your practice or outpatient surgery, experience the agility and freedom of our handheld robotics technology…and find out what it means to have your skill amplified.

An unrivalled shoulder repair portfolio

Help shape the future of rotator cuff and instability repair

It’s a bold statement to say we own the future of rotator cuff repair, but we invite attendees to visit us and see if they agree. With our market-leading bioinductive implant making more headlines in clinical data, and refined approaches to treat complex instability, ESSKA is a well-timed forum to build the next chapter of your practice.

Browse the highlights below and make it an impactful event for your shoulder patients.

Aim for more in hip arthroscopy

Go beyond the repair…and see what happens

As the original architects of hip arthroscopy, we’re not just talking about improvements or results. We talking about the ability to achieve more in the OR.
Whether it’s joint access, visualization, or overall repair outcomes, we’re drawing on the expertise of leading surgeons and the power of new technology to show why it is possible to go beyond the repair.

Explore the featured technology below…and have your questions ready.

Step forward in foot ankle repair

Adjustability and augmentation are the ultimate partnership

Surgeons need to adapt to the complexities of ankle instability and Achilles repair, so we built a technology portfolio with adjustability at its core. Driving new capabilities in tailored suture tension (even after anchor insertion) and the option to augment repairs with bioinductive technology, this is a step forward in the standard of care.

Check out our technology highlights below and ask our team for more information.

Arthroscopic enabling technology

Raise the bar in your OR

As the foundation of any procedure, your OR technology ecosystem can drive anything from frustration to success. Look for a lift in your operating room efficiency with advanced and fully connected enabling technologies. Bringing together fluid management, visualization and resection under one name and one tower, there’s only one place you need to look.
