The Orthopaedic Device Forum is a unique venue in which multiple stakeholder groups meet twice annually to debate and shape the future of orthopaedic device technology and policy. Surgeons are represented by the AAOS and its Board of Specialty Societies. Orthopaedic device manufacturers are represented by the Orthopedic Surgical Manufacturers Association (OSMA). Federal agencies are represented by senior officials from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
