In late 2007, the founders of the International Congress for Joint Reconstruction, each a recognized authority in Orthopedic surgery, joined together to build the next generation of education and community for physicians involved with joint reconstruction. The ICJR is an independent, non-profit organization formed to change the status quo of Orthopedic education. Our faculty is dedicated to reinventing the ways we gain knowledge that improves patient outcomes. Profits from ICJR activities will be reinvested in the professional societies' charities and organization snares relevant to the critical assessment orthopedics today. The goals and finances of the ICJR will be fully transparent.
