ISAKOS was formed by the merger of the International Arthroscopy Association (IAA) and the International Society of the Knee (ISK) in 1995.

ISAKOS works with Regional and National societies who share similar goals, providing a larger arena where these national societies and continental organizations can combine their strengths in an international forum.

ISAKOS has earned a Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency. Check out the ISAKOS nonprofit profile to keep up to date with our impact. ISAKOS strives to make sure you always have the information needed to support our work with trust and confidence.
