Orthopaedic Research Society

The Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) was founded in 1954 and incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1982. The purposes of the ORS are to promote, support, develop and encourage research in orthopaedic surgery, musculoskeletal diseases, musculoskeletal injuries and disciplines related thereto; to provide, encourage, develop and sponsor educational activities related to the foregoing; and to provide forums for dissemination of knowledge in these fields. The intent of these efforts is to improve the care of patients with musculoskeletal diseases and injuries. The Society has approximately 1,700 members.

Activities of the Society to serve its stated purposes include an Annual Meeting and publication of the Journal of Orthopaedic Research in which the musculoskeletal community communicates the current state of orthopaedic research.
