The South African orthopaedic registrar’s association was established in 2020, however COVID 19 caused a delay in its launch, with registrars signing on in 2022. It is a national orthopaedic association that is entirely managed by registrars across the nation with support from the South African Orthopaedic Association (SAOA) and universities.
