The Orthopaedic Foundation: A Context for Conversation
Born of the need to promote and encourage research and education in the field of orthopaedics and sports medicine, the Orthopaedic Foundation was established in 2002 with a focus on innovation to better manage osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal diseases, prevent injury to individuals across the spectrum of activity, and develop minimally invasive treatments with shorter recovery times, with the aim of keeping our world active and pain free.
During different stages of our lives, we may not always feel as though our bodies are able to keep up with our spirit. Whether it’s due to injury, illness or the natural progression of aging, the active and sometimes adventurous lifestyle we are accustomed to enjoying may be slowed down or even halted.
Through education and medical discovery, we are helping everyone passionate about a healthy and active lifestyle, to “Stay in the Game…for Life”.

The Orthopaedic Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 organization (EIN # is 06-1605002.) As a non-profit, our success relies heavily on the investment of time and talent donated by our Board of Directors and Medical Advisory Commitee. This leadership team, demonstrates a collection of visionaries and supporters dedicated to growing the Foundation through their outreach efforts and philanthropic commitment.
