Our Mission

Report

The objectives of the organization shall be to provide for the association of persons engaged in the practice, teaching, or research in the area of orthopedics for the presentation and discussion of items of common interest, to further scientific investigation, and to upgrade the specialty of orthopedics in order to provide better patient care.

History

Report

After hearing of the passing of Dr. Jenny, he remembered those words: "That is what you should do, George." So Dr. Goudy started to make phone calls, mainly to those that had been at the Davos meeting, to see if there was interest in a similar meeting in the US. The purpose of VOS as Dr. Goudy and Dr. Jenny envisioned it was to combine the findings of the Academicians and the work of the practitioner. It took some time to get everything organized and the first annual meeting was held at the Wildwood Hotel in Snowmass, CO in February of 1974.
