The OrthoCarolina Research Institute (OCRI) is an independent, non-profit 501(c)3 that exists to facilitate relevant orthopedic research which advances orthopedic treatments, improves quality of life for patients, and educates the medical community.
Unidentified breakthroughs are just waiting to be discovered, but we can’t do it without the support of generous people like you.
If there’s a better way, we will find it. And when we find it, we share it. We are OCRI.
“The research that comes out of the OrthoCarolina Research Institute is generally very practical research. It’s driven by practicing physicians trying to find a better way to take care of their patients. “

The OrthoCarolina Research Institute (OCRI) offers a wide range of services to conduct a variety of studies, including pre-market drug, device, and biologics trials, as well as basic science, translational, and outcomes-research. OCRI has the ability to take an idea from conception to publication. We collaborate with local scientists to conduct basic science research and have access to a wide array of scientific labs including bioengineering, biomechanical, histology, and orthopedic biology, which houses a vivarium.
Here at OrthoCarolina, we believe it’s our responsibility to do our part in finding alternatives to opioids for our patients. That’s why we’ve embarked on the Carolinas Opioid Reduction Effort (CORE) Project.
