Association for the Study of Internal Fixation

The Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (ASIF) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing knowledge and techniques in the surgical treatment of bones using internal hardware like plates, screws, and rods. Its goal is to improve patient care by promoting research, education, and standard practices in fracture management. Founded in 1956, ASIF brings together surgeons, researchers, and clinicians worldwide to share ideas, develop innovations, and establish guidelines for effective internal fixation methods, ultimately helping people recover better from bone injuries and fractures.
