AAOS 75th Celebratory Products
The 75th Anniversary history project, Embracing the Past, Branching into the Future, illustrates some of the orthopaedic challenges and successes of the last 75 years. As orthopaedic surgeons solved many of the challenges posed by scoliosis, osteoarthritis, and orthopaedic trauma to name but a few, orthopaedics evolved to become the highly refined specialty it is today. This important history is documented through Academy members’ powerful stories, photographs, and artifacts.
The Academy is offering a number of fantastic commemorative items to you, and most at no cost, including films, books, a postcard, and an exhibit that chronicles the last 75 years of orthopaedics. Celebrate with your Academy and order the items described below for your homes, offices, reception areas, and patients.
