The Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons Orthopaedia and You

Description: The Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons might be the most important orthopaedic organization you never heard of. The Association was formed in 1947 to advance the science and practice of orthopaedic surgery. For more than 60 years, it has promoted the creation, evaluation, and dissemination of new knowledge and facilitated interaction among orthopaedic surgeons. In 1953, it launched the publication you are now reading, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research. The Association also sponsors the annual ABJS Carl T. Brighton workshop and research prizes named after Nicolas Andry and Marshall Urist. There are currently 85 active members of the Association. Most hold academic appointments around the country; all, without exception, are committed to the Association’s mission of creating, evaluating, and disseminating new knowledge. We trust you know of the Association’s current work. We are writing now to introduce its project for the future: Orthopaedia.
