About this journal
This journal has ceased publication with Vol 6 / Issue 4.
European Orthopaedics and Traumatology provides a platform for excellent basic and clinical research in orthopaedics and related disciplines. Articles published here reflect the broad spectrum of European opinion on the daily practice of orthopaedics, and help to promote consensus and accepted standards across the discipline.
The journal is a forum for discussion among orthopaedic surgeons and all those working with them, as well as a channel of communication with patient organisations. European Orthopaedics and Traumatology is the official publication of EFORT, the umbrella organization of the European national orthopaedic associations. The journal functions as a communications channel connecting the member societies to one another and to the organisation. Reflecting EFORT´s intention to connect members of its constituent societies, and its commitment to rapid dissemination of significant new research and practices, the Journal is available free of charge to all members online.
