Congratulations to Drs. Charles Billings and K. Chandra Vemulapalli on being inducted as a Fellow of the American Orthopaedic Association!

They were inducted at AOA's 139th Annual Leadership Meeting on May 15, 2026, in Albuquerque, NM. Inductees are nominated by their peers within the AOA for their exceptional leadership and accomplishments in the orthopaedic specialty. Membership in The American Orthopaedic Association is an earned membership that comes at the end of a stringent peer-reviewed process. Fewer than 10% of practicing orthopaedic surgeons have achieved AOA Membership.
