About the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation

Established in 1965, the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation is dedicated solely to helping people build, maintain and restore their bone and joint health. By advancing research, delivering public and patient education and fostering excellence of care, we strive to keep Canadians moving pain-free, longer and stronger.

At the core of our day-to-day efforts is our public and patient education and support programs. We deliver high-quality programs, trusted by patients and professionals alike, that provide essential information about bone and joint health, from building it to restoring it, so people can live and move longer, stronger, and pain-free. All the Foundation’s educational resources are created with input, guidance and approval of our Medical & Scientific Review Committee, the members of which are national in scope and cross all sub-specialties of orthopaedic medicine.
