Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Research Society (APORS)

The Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Research Society (APORS) was set up in 2017 with the intent to create a professional, scientific and medical organization focused in promoting orthopaedic research in the Asia Pacific region. It is recognized that in many societies within the Asia Pacific region, many nations have not been able to participate in serious orthopedic research due to various limitations, As an organization responsible for the orthopaedic activities in the Asia Pacific region, APOA has embarked on an effort to promote this discipline amongst APOA member nations. APORS aims to increase resources for research, and awareness of the importance and impact of such research on orthopaedic patients and the public.
