The British Orthopaedic Association is a professional association in Britain for doctors who specialize in orthopaedic surgery.

History

The British Orthopaedic Association was founded in 1918.[1] One of the founders was Harry Platt, who went on to serve as its president in 1934-1935.[2]

As of 2013 the organisation reports having 4,000 members with most based in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[1] The BOA represents 40% of the total surgical workforce in Britain.[1]

In 1919 the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery became the official journal of the British Orthopaedic Association in addition to the American Orthopedic Association.[citation needed]

Projects

In 2012 Royal College of Surgeons of England and the British Orthopaedic Association called for increased regulation of implants to prevent implant failure.[3]

In association with the BGS, the BOA set up the national hip fracture database for England and Wales.
