The mission of the Clinical Orthopaedic Society is to optimize the science of the physical examination as the central component in the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions and to educate society on orthopaedic issues impacting patient care. The primary function of the Clinical Orthopaedic Society is its annual meeting. The meeting format requires patient presentation as part of any presented paper, and a central walkway to demonstrate the patients. In the words of the seal, “learn by seeing, hearing, fellowship and criticism”.
