Overview

Mission

As recognized leaders of the orthopaedic community in north america, tcoa exists to promote research, forge advancements in orthopaedic care and education, and disseminate practice changing advances in the treatment of musculoskeletal disease and injury.

What it reported doing in 2024

The tcoa hosted our 2024 annual meeting in august in Wisconsin bringing together a group of prominent orthopaedic leaders from across the us. During the annual meeting we provided over 10 hours of continuing medical education which included reports from the american board of orthopaedic surgery, american academy of orthopaedic surgery, and the orthopaedic research and education foundation. Scientific research projects, presentations and symposiums were also delivered covering topics that included contemporary practice problems and solutions, orthopedic care models, potential applications and utilization of artificial intelligence, and innovations in musculoskeletal care. Research presentations are also provided to the members in the bi-annual newsletter and posted on the tcoa website.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
