ABSTRACT: In 1992, the American Orthopaedic Association-Japanese Orthopaedic Association (AOA-JOA) Traveling Fellowship was created to develop and enhance collaboration between the Japanese and American orthopaedic communities. The fellowship is geared to early-career surgeons and fosters clinical and cultural exchange between members of the 2 countries. In 2024, the fellows hailed from around the United States: Kelly K. Hynes, Lucas S. McDonald, Joshua A. Parry, Joseph H. Schwab, and Byron F. Stephens all participated in the program. During the 3-week fellowship, the fellows visited 8 academic centers across Japan and attended the JOA Annual Meeting in Fukuoka. This experience was incredibly rewarding, both clinically and professionally, and all the fellows returned home with novel ideas for their clinical practices.
