Since 1958 when the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO ASIF) was founded by Martin Allgöwer, Maurice E. Müller, Robert Schneider, and Hans Willenegger, the founding members recognized the importance of teaching and training for surgeons and operating room personnel. This was the start of an ever-increasing worldwide teaching activity that has continued to this day. AO North American educational activities for 2009 are listed below.
