Moved from talk page
While Twin Cities Orthpedics is a company - they also house a sports medicine fellowship program for physicians.

That means that Twin Cities Orthopedics is acting as a private school, providing physicians the opportunity to become accredited in sports medicine care.

The physicians within this group also practice at seven hospitals in Minneapolis. All of those hospitals have pages on Wikipedia.

In addition the group funds the Twin Cities Orthopedics Foundation - a non-profit organization aimed at advancing the scientific investigation and education of professionals and patients of orthopedic care.

 * Allan, the first problem here is your article was only one sentence and that is way too short, plus there was no assertion of notability. I don't know if this company should be included in an encyclopedia or not because I know nothing about it except what you wrote in the article - that it is a group of orthopedic physicians and surgeons in Minnesota. That's just not enough, you have to explain how/why this company is notable. Also, I think you need to look at WP:CORP and read through the guidelines for notability for companies and see general notability guidelines at WP:N and also beware of WP:SPAM.
