The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) is a nonprofit professional society focused on foot and ankle surgery. Founded in 1942 and based in the Chicago area, it serves more than 8,000 foot and ankle surgeons, including fellows who are board-certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. The organization seeks to advance the art and science of foot, ankle, and related lower-extremity surgery, address members' concerns, and promote high standards of patient care and surgical education. It operates as a mid-sized nonprofit medical association, emphasizing education and professional standards for its members. The organization participates in annual scientific conferences to share knowledge and foster collaboration; in February 2026 it showcased a sterile, single-use, knotless, and flexible suture-button system designed to stabilize syndesmotic ankle injuries at its conference.
