Thursday, April 20th, 2017 | 11:00am - 12:00pm CT

At a time when therapeutic decisions are based on reasoned burdens of proof, there is strikingly little evidence supporting the use of most bone graft products.

Attendees will be able to:

• Assess bone grafting options based on the evidence that supports them
• Separate fact from fiction in terms of regulatory scrutiny and payer mandated evidence
• Learn from a surgeon, active in research and teaching, why diving deep into the science and data helps his practice and patients
• Better understand how an advanced biologic, i-FACTOR Peptide Enhanced Bone Graft, has redefined the category
