ACFAS Regions Support NFAR
ACFAS proudly introduces the National Foot and Ankle Registry (NFAR) – a groundbreaking clinical data registry created to provide foot and ankle surgeons with powerful insights into surgical outcomes, support evidence-based decision-making, and drive quality improvement across the specialty.
The success of NFAR relies on widespread participation, and the ACFAS Region Presidents Council is stepping up to help make that happen. In 2025, each ACFAS Region will support the launch of at least one new NFAR site - nine sites in total. Each selected site will receive first-year funding support covering the full $2,000 annual NFAR participation fee and $500 setup fee. Funding is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis within each Region.
Complete the NFAR application today and help shape the future of foot and ankle surgery.
