COA Bulletin
Since 1983, the COA Bulletin has been a cornerstone of communication for the Canadian Orthopaedic Association—serving as the Association’s official journal and a key platform for member engagement. Originally produced as a print publication, the Bulletin transitioned to a digital format in 2015, continuing to provide opportunities for publishing, professional updates, and knowledge sharing within the orthopaedic community until 2020.
We’re excited to announce the COA Bulletin will relaunch in June 2025 as a fully digital, multimedia format—designed to better reflect the way our members engage with content today—as a twice-yearly publication released in June and December.

June 2025 Edition
We’re proud to present the June 2025 COA Bulletin—our first edition since 2020 and the official relaunch of the Association’s flagship publication. This marks a new chapter for the Bulletin, now fully digital and redesigned to better reflect how our members engage with content today.
Originally launched in 1983 and transitioning from print to digital in 2015, the COA Bulletin has long served as a hub for communication, thought leadership, and collaboration within the Canadian orthopaedic community.
This relaunch edition introduces new content sections—including Presidential Messages, Clinical Insights, Advocacy in Action, Trainee Highlights, and more—offering a dynamic, twice-yearly platform for research, innovation, and professional growth.
We invite you to explore the new Bulletin, contribute to future issues, and connect with the evolving voice of Canadian orthopaedics.
