The Society welcomes new members and are looking to recruit AOA members who have a particular interest and experience in hip and knee arthroplasty. Potential new members are nominated for membership by existing Arthroplasty Society fully financial members who are actively involved in the Society.
In general terms, new applicants require five or more years of experience in the field of hip and knee arthroplasty surgery, before being considered for membership. Younger surgeons or those interested in joining the Society are welcome to express their interest to attend the annual ASA meeting as an accompanying guest of an existing fully financial member or of the President. This encouragement particularly applies to new orthopaedic surgeons who have recently completed local or overseas hip and knee arthroplasty fellowships and who intend to sub-specialise is this area.
