The two meetings that BONESUPPORT will attend are:
- The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society 2018 Annual Meeting, which will take place at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center – New York, NY – 10-12 October. The meeting, which will have over 250 attendees, is focused on orthopedic oncology, one of BONESUPPORT’s key target indications.

The OTA meeting program includes presentations on the latest cutting-edge, high quality research and state-of-the-art treatments for musculoskeletal injuries and is expected to draw attendance of 1,600 delegates.

Patrick O’Donnell, General Manager & Executive Vice President of Commercial Operations US, said “We are making excellent progress in building our own US network of high-quality independent distributors that will start selling CERAMENT BVF direct on 21 October. Our attendance at these two important meetings will allow us to further strengthen our relationships with orthopedic surgeons, focused on trauma, hip arthroplasty, foot & ankle, and orthopedic oncology. Given our progress in building our distributor network, I am confident that BONESUPPORT’s US business will deliver significant sales growth in 2019.”
