A collaboration by leaders in orthopaedic trauma.

The Canadian Orthopaedic Trauma Society has been a promoter of multicentre research studies for more than a decade.

We bring fracture patients together

The Canadian Orthopaedic Trauma Society was started in an endeavour to answer the difficult problem of obtaining enough patients to perform top-quality research into fractures.

A society for surgeons and coordinators

The Canadian Orthopaedic Trauma Society (COTS) is a group of Canadian Orthopaedic Association members who have banded together to perform randomized prospective multicentre trauma research studies.
