Your generous gift to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) helps support AAOS' trusted resources and digital tools — including OrthoInfo — that teach patients and caregivers about musculoskeletal issues.

We strive to provide unbiased, easy-to-understand patient education content that helps answer questions and address concerns, guide treatment decisions, and strengthen communication between patients and their doctors. Studies have shown that patients who are more informed tend to have better outcomes and feel more confident about both their care and their healthcare team.

At AAOS, we believe everyone should have free access to high-quality musculoskeletal patient education: Your tax-deductible donation enables us to make a wealth of information available for people to use whenever, wherever, and however they need it.
