==History== <br />
The first surgeons who focused on [[orthopedic surgery|orthopedic surgeries]] in India were [[Dr. R J Katrak]], Dr. N S Narasimha Aiyar and Dr. S R Chandra. After World War II, Dr. Mukhopadhaya and Dr. [[Khem Singh Grewal|K S Grewal]] suggested forming an association during the annual conference of ASI in Vellore in 1952. Many practicing surgeons met in [[Agra]] in 1953, most prominently Katrak, Dr. B N Sinha, Grewal, Mukopadhaya and Dr. A K Gupta. They agreed to form an orthopedic section of ASI. However, in 1954, the general body of the ASI at Hyderabad rejected the proposal.<br />
<br />
The society was officially formed in Amritsar at an ASI meeting in December 1955. Dr. B N Sinha and Dr. Mukopadhaya were unanimously elected president and secretary. Dr. A K Talwalkar started the Johnson & Johnson and the Smith & Nephew traveling fellowships on behalf of IOA. The annual Kini Memorial Oration started in 1958. [[Sir Harry Platt, 1st Baronet|Sir Harry Platt]] served as the first Orator in 1958. The members of the Association published the first issue of a journal in 1967 with Prakash Chandra as the Editor. A constitution prepared by a select committee was unanimously approved at the General Body meeting in 1967. This was later registered under the [[Indian Societies Act]].<br />
<br />
At the 1986 Agra ASI conference, the IOA became independent of ASI. Sixteen regional chapters were formed.<br />
