Founded in 1969, the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) is a medical specialty society comprised of more than 2,200 orthopaedic surgeons in the US and abroad who specialize in surgical and medical care of the foot and ankle.
The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) organization that advances the mission of the AOFAS by funding and promoting essential education, research, and humanitarian endeavors. With generous contributions from individuals and industry, the Foundation supports the AOFAS in growing the specialty.
DJO® is proud to fund the highly competitive annual Traveling Fellowship Program, in which selected young members, from around the globe, attend the AOFAS Annual Meeting and travel to leading institutions of foot and ankle care and research.
