From September 23 to 26, researchers and physicians from NYU Langone Orthopedics join colleagues from around the world in Nashville at the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) 2026 Annual Meeting.

NYU Langone Orthopedics will have more presentations at this year’s meeting than any other single institution, reflecting the strength of our high-performing clinical and academic program. Our faculty and trainees care for patients across the spectrum of orthopedic trauma, using the experience gained in the clinical setting to drive research, improve outcomes, and advance the field.

“Our academic work is grounded in the clinical care we provide every day,” says Kenneth A. Egol, MD, chief of the Division of Trauma and Fracture Surgery. “The complexity and breadth of the patients we care for gives us the opportunity to ask important questions, generate meaningful evidence, and continually improve the way we treat orthopedic trauma.”

Below are notable sessions featuring our faculty and trainees. For a full list of presentations, visit the conference website.
