Steadman Philippon Research Institute is a nonprofit organization focused on orthopaedic research and education, dedicated to helping people of all ages remain physically active through advances in arthritis, healing, rehabilitation, and injury prevention. Based in Vail, Colorado, the institute was founded in 1988 by orthopaedic surgeon Dr. J. Richard Steadman and operates as an independent 501(c)(3) charitable entity that employs scientists, fellows, visiting scholars, and interns. Its work emphasizes clinical relevance to improve patient care.

It is known worldwide for research into the causes, prevention, and treatment of orthopaedic disorders and for efforts to address conditions that limit an active life. Notable contributions include surgical and rehabilitation approaches developed by Dr. Steadman and the pioneering work of Dr. Marc Philippon on sports-related hip injuries. In 2026, SPRI partnered with Hospital for Special Surgery to host the Vail Hip Summit, a collaboration supported by Vail Health and other sponsors.
