About Us
The Saudi Orthopaedic Association has been approved on
3rd Rabi Al Thani 1426 (11th May 2005). This association is under the
umbrella of King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Our membership is open to any orthopaedic surgeons in the Kingdom or
in-training orthopaedic Residents, in addition to honorary membership
for those interested from field related to our speciality. We aim at
improving the orthopaedic service given at different levels of patient’s
care. We hope to achieve this by reaching to our members, non-member
orthopaedic surgeons and other governmental or civil organizations and
try to find solutions to problems of trauma and orthopaedic in the
Kingdom. We are also aiming at upgrading orthopaedic knowledge and
skills of orthopaedic surgeons whether they are in cities or towns
through courses, symposia and workshops.
The administrative body of the associations consists of:
-
The General Assembly which meets once a year (but can have emergency meeting at any time).
-
The Board of Directors, elected by general assembly. It meets at least four times a year.
-
A President, Vice-President, Board trustee and financial trustee.
The Administration of branches.
In addition to that, the association has three committees.
-
The Scientific committee
-
The Information and Media committee

We hope we can achieve our goals through the active
participation of our members.
