The West Virginia Orthopaedic Society focuses its efforts on educating physician members on the latest information in the field so they can continually improve the level of care each patient receives. The Society seeks to educate the public on safety and accident/injury prevention. Members of the West Virginia Orthopaedic Society are continuing this tradition of concern with the diagnosis, care and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Their scope of practice includes disorders of the body's bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Before becoming members, each orthopaedist has completed four years of medical school and an approved residency in orthopaedics.

NEWS For a number of years, we’ve been talking about producing a newsletter for members, orthopaedic office staff and potential members. Welcome to the product of those discussions!
This will no doubt be a living document, one which could use your input and feedback. Please tell us what you’d like to see included in this quarterly publication, tell us what you don’t want to see, and feel free to send articles and news of interest to the orthopaedic profession in West Virginia.
Can you think of a great name for our new publication? Please submit your suggestions, the board will select the winner, and we’ll feature your photo in the next issue! Just send your suggestions to admin@wvos.org by August 1, 2009!
