About The Stone Foundation

The Stone Foundation for Sports Medicine and Arthritis Research was founded in 1995 as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization (#94-3228007). The Foundation's mission is to research medical techniques for preventing and treating osteoarthritis and sports injuries. Conducting scientific research in a first-class clinical setting has lead to numerous medical advances and allowed the proliferation of research and education. This has permitted surgeons and patients worldwide to benefit from the newest innovations in arthritis research and care.

Specifically we contribute by:

• Developing and evaluating new surgical techniques that promote biologic reconstruction of injured cartilage and ligaments.
  
  
• Developing and teaching cutting-edge rehabilitation techniques to return people to active lifestyles.
  
  
• Researching new treatments for arthritis and joint injuries.
  
  
• Spreading valuable information through presentations and publications on surgical and rehabilitation techniques to professionals around the country and the globe and by educational seminars and training camps for world-class athletes, coaches, and active individuals of all ages.

The Stone Foundation is funded entirely with contributions from patients and research grants. Contributions are used to fund research projects, educational seminars, and camps that train elite athletes and coaches.
