The Keggi Orthopaedic Foundation

The Keggi Orthopaedic Foundation is a nonprofit, non-stock corporation dedicated to a program of study and research in the field of orthopaedics. KOF also directs its efforts to the dissemination of that information to the orthopaedic community of the world through lectures, seminars, publications and exchange fellowships between nations.
