The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society is a group of  over 2,000 orthopedic surgeons from the U.S. and abroad who specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of injuries, diseases, and other conditions of the foot and ankle.  This is important to me because I was born with a club foot (A foot condition some people are born with which makes the foot point to the side and make the top look like its where the bottom is supposed to be).  It affects me every day of my life.  Without the surgery I had as a child I wouldn't have been able to walk normally or play the sports I do today.   These surgeons have helped me along with millions of other people around the globe.
