ISOLS Committees

Engineering Committee

The ISOLS Engineering & Technology Committee (INSPIRE) is continuing to shape how innovation in design, planning, and manufacturing will advance the future of limb salvage. Surgeons and engineers again came together with a shared objective: to make advanced technology routine, reliable and accessible in musculoskeletal oncology.

Four working subcommittees have been established

To translate ideas into action, the committee confirmed four specialist groups, each led by an experienced clinician and engineering partner, charged with delivering practical outputs for ISOLS:

Subcommittee:

Prosthesis Standards

Chair:

Dr. Scheinemann

Focus:

Developing implant design standards to enable consistency, reliability and collaboration with industry

Subcommittee:

Mixed Reality / White Paper

Chair:

Dr. Wong

Focus:

Integrating navigation, imaging and mixed reality-based planning into pre-operative workflows; producing a foundational white paper

Subcommittee:

AI / Imaging

Chair:

Dr. Iwata

Focus:

Applying artificial intelligence to surgical planning, segmentation and decision-support in musculoskeletal oncology

Subcommittee:

Jigs and Navigation

Chair:

Dr. Agarwal

Focus:

Creating guidelines for design, safety and standardisation of surgical jigs and navigational aids

All four subcommittees will refine their scopes over the coming months, map key deliverables, and begin preparing case examples and frameworks for wider adoption.
