Support JRI Research and Make a Difference

The mission of the Joint Replacement Institute is to provide exceptional patient care, be an educational resource for patients and the orthopaedic community and conduct cutting-edge research in prosthetic joint reconstruction, hip resurfacing and joint preservation. The JRI is recognized worldwide as a leader in the field of joint reconstruction. This leadership comes at a substantial cost and the JRI is continually searching for financial support.

Donations to the JRI will support ongoing research studies including the Willed Joint program, implant retrieval and tissue analysis, clinical investigations of patient outcomes, and ongoing studies of patient activity in conjunction with the performance of prosthetic joints. In addition, donations will support our training and education programs including clinical fellowships and the visiting research scholar program.

Your financial support will positively affect the lives of arthritis patients world wide!
