The Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) is a professional, scientific, and medical organization focused on orthopaedic research. The stated mission of the ORS is to advance orthopaedic research through education, collaboration, communication, and advocacy. The ORS aims to raise resources for orthopaedic research and increase the awareness of the impact of such research on patients and the public. In 1940, the Research Committee of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, chaired by Dr. Alfred R. Shands, conducted a survey of its members which indicated that over 180 members were conducting some type of research. This finding prompted several musculoskeletal investigators to express the desire for having a forum to present and share their work. Dr. Phillip D. Wilson, a member of the Academy, along with several others, met in San Francisco and proposed the idea of starting an organization focused solely on musculoskeletal research. This idea gained unanimous support from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons at their Annual Meeting in 1951. More information...
