Indian Orthopaedic Association (IOA)

The IOA is one of the largest professional organizations which has more than 10000 active life members. It is a vibrant organization which focuses on academics, research and social networking. From the time of its formation in 1955, in these 60 years this organization has evolved into a strong professional body with many sub-committees and regional committees.

It is a constantly growing organization not only in terms of increasing memberships but also in all other fronts like fellowships, CMEs, orations and sub-specialty meetings. The annual conference of the organization IOACON, is one of the well organized and most sought after meetings conducted in India. The history, birth and development of the Indian Orthopaedic Association is very similar to that of the British Orthopaedic Association, probably due to our past association with the United Kingdom.
