Our Impact

Funding Innovative Research. Supporting Investigators. Collaborating with Others.

For more than 65 years, that's been our simple, yet vitally important mission and it's yielded incredible results. OREF-funded studies have led to some of the most important breakthroughs, including research in osteolysis, compartment syndrome and the role of vitamin D in endochondral development.

We're committed to driving informed innovation in clinical practice by funding research that will clarify and test the benefits of emerging technologies, supporting the investigators committed to expanding our understanding of musculoskeletal health and collaborating with our partners to improve patient care.
