About

The Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education (FORE) was founded by the surgeons at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute in 1999 as part of their commitment to providing world-class orthopaedic care to their patients. The foundation was established as a way to improve the care of patients with musculoskeletal disorders through research and education. While FORE operates independently from FOI, we collaborate with their physicians on numerous research and education endeavors because of their expertise and reputation in their fields.

Mission

The Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education is dedicated to engaging in orthopaedic research and education to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and care of all patients with musculoskeletal disorders.

Vision

Our vision is to become a world class leader in orthopaedic research so that the knowledge gained will have a substantial impact on orthopaedic science and patient care. This will be achieved through the integration of basic science research, biomechanical research, clinical research, and the education of orthopaedic surgeons and other health care providers.
