Excerpt

The Georgia Orthopaedic Society gathers every autumn at a beautiful resort on the seacoast, but this annual meeting is far from where most of its surgeons practice. Many members—including some in my Atlanta-based practice, even when I served as the group’s president—don’t make the trip, and don’t bother with membership. I suspect that this pattern replicates among state orthopaedic societies across the country, and I believe this is a problem.
