The Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is a peer‑reviewed, open‑access journal that aims to advance scientific knowledge and clinical practice in orthopaedic surgery and musculoskeletal research. It seeks to publish high‑quality original research, systematic reviews, technical innovations, and case‑based studies that contribute to evidence‑based orthopaedic care and improved patient outcomes.
The journal also aims to foster collaboration across disciplines such as biomechanics, tissue engineering, radiology, rheumatology, rehabilitation, and biomedical engineering, promoting translational research from bench to bedside.
Scope:
The Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research covers, but is not limited to, the following areas:
Orthopaedic surgical techniques and outcomes (including minimally invasive and arthroscopic procedures), Trauma and fracture management, polytrauma, and bone healing, Joint replacement, arthroplasty, and prosthetic design, Spine surgery, sports injuries, ligament and tendon repair, and rehabilitation, Paediatric orthopaedics, congenital and developmental disorders, and limb deformities. Orthopaedic oncology, bone and soft‑tissue tumours, and related reconstructive surgery, Bone biology, cartilage research, osteoporosis, and metabolic bone disease, Biomechanics, biomaterials, implants, and innovation in orthopaedic devices, Orthopaedic imaging, diagnostics, and perioperative infection control, Clinical outcomes, quality‑of‑life studies, and global‑health perspectives in musculoskeletal care.
The journal welcomes original research articles, randomized and observational clinical studies, systematic reviews, meta‑analyses, case reports, technical notes, and brief communications from clinicians, basic scientists, and allied health professionals worldwide.
