In late 2007, the founders of the International Congress for Joint Reconstruction (ICJR), each a recognized authority in orthopaedic surgery, joined together to begin developing the next generation of education and community for physicians involved with joint reconstruction.Today, ICJR provides quality education for the orthopaedic surgery community through live CME meetings and a website featuring surgical videos, articles, and news on joint replacement of the hip, knee, and shoulder. Topics we cover include:Surgical techniques for joint arthroplastyImplant choicesManagement of complications such as infection, fracture, and dislocationNew technologies such as computer navigation and robotic surgeryPractice management, value-based care, and economicsIssues in outpatient joint replacement surgeryMissionICJR's mission is to provide a pre-eminent educational experience and content to the global orthopaedic community through a transparent and inclusive organization with consistent philanthropic contributions for research and education.Commitment to PhilanthropyThe predominant focus of ICJR philanthropy has been and will continue to be resident and fellow education. Profits from ICJR activities are reinvested into the development of bioskills-based resident and fellow education programs and in-kind support to residents and fellows for complimentary attendance at our CME courses throughout the US.In addition, ICJR has made contributions to professional societies, charities, and organizations relevant to the critical issues in orthopaedics today. The goals and finances of the ICJR are fully transparent.
