The Bone and Joint Decade. Joint Motion 2000 - 2010

For your 206 bones and the joints that connect them.

Whether you are interested in building and retaining your bone and joint health, or are an orthopaedic patient or professional, the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation exists for you - for your bone and joint health now and in the future.

The Foundation is Canada's only health charity dedicated solely to helping people build, maintain and restore their bone and joint health. We do this by raising and allocating funds for the research, education and care that help Canadians to live and move independently - longer and stronger.

Feature Story:  Canadian children are playing hockey, basketball, football and golf in record numbers.  The bad news - they're doing it on a video game, not outdoors.  Conor O'Shea, a 27-year-old golf instructor and author wants to inspire kids to play real golf.  Click here to read the full story.
