Our Mission

Rigorous Science.
Meaningful Impact.

SCORE was founded on the belief that excellent clinical care is inseparable from excellent research. We bring together faculty, residents, and medical students to pursue questions that matter — from implant survivorship to health equity in orthopaedic access.

Our work is published in the field's leading journals, presented at national meetings, and — most importantly — used to improve the care we deliver to patients every day.
