More about the Orthopaedic Device Forum

The first meeting was held in January of 1996 and evolved from discussions at a symposium in Chantilly, Virginia.  The Orthopaedic Device Forum has been active in addressing a number of regulatory matters of significance to orthopaedics.

The Orthopaedic Device Forum was established to permit regularly scheduled interactions among representatives of the scientific and clinical Orthopaedic Community, the FDA and other governmental agencies, and representatives of the industry related to musculoskeletal health and diseases.  Such interactions are consistent with the intent of federal law.
