Purpose
The purpose of this organization is to:

• Foster cooperation between orthopaedic surgeons in Texas
• Encourage scientific, educational, and charitable endeavors which will promote and advance the science and art of orthopaedic surgery
• Evaluate state and national health policy activities as they relate to orthopaedics in Texas

The members of TOA work to ensure the quality of patient care by:

• Developing workers' compensation guidelines and ground rules, monitoring and reporting, to the Texas Legislature, problems with allied health groups unlawfully expanding their scope of practice to the possible detriment of public health
• Organizing a physicians' grassroots effort, which is working in tangent with the TOA legislative advocate towards influencing Texas politics on behalf of orthopaedists and their patients
• Serving as medical information resources to state regulatory agencies, public officials, and the Texas Legislature
• Serving as liaisons to subspecialty groups, AAOS, TMA and AMA
• Building coalitions with other physicians to insure patient access to specialists, providing patients with proper and timely treatment in a "managed care" environment, promoting tort reform and insurance reforms
• Providing educational and socioeconomic programming which impacts your practice
• Collecting and disseminating information on outcome studies
• Distributing information to the public regarding musculoskeletal conditions that will have a salutary effect on the public well being
• Increasing trauma funding and networking with trauma physicians
• Promoting a better understanding between doctors and community leaders through the mini-internship program
