COA BulletinBulletin Archive

The COA Bulletin has a long-standing legacy as the Association’s primary communications tool and official journal. Since its inception in 1983, the Bulletin has provided a platform for knowledge sharing, member updates, and community engagement within Canadian orthopaedics.

Originally distributed in print, the Bulletin transitioned to a digital format in 2015, adapting to evolving reader preferences and technology. Until 2020, it remained an essential publication for communicating research, professional insights, and Association news.

Members and readers have enjoyed the variety of formats over the years—from traditional print issues to fully digital editions—each reflecting the changing landscape of professional publishing. The archive captures this evolution and preserves decades of contributions from the COA membership and broader orthopaedic community.
