Important Announcement: ESSKA Journals transit to John Wiley & Sons, Inc publishing company

ESSKA’s official journals KSSTA and JEO will be transitioning from Springer to John Wiley & Sons, Inc. from January 1st 2024. This decision is part of our ongoing strategy to enhance the quality and accessibility of our scientific publications.

Wiley, founded in 1807 in New York City, holds a remarkable legacy of over 200 years in helping individuals and organizations develop the skills and knowledge they need to unlock human potential. With more than 7,000 colleagues in 40+ countries, Wiley’s scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly journals, books, and other digital content build on a strong heritage of quality publishing.

Wiley is the world’s largest association publisher, having partnerships with more than 600 scholarly and professional organizations, and more than 800 of their journals, positioning Wiley to provide exceptional support and service to ESSKA.

In a culminating expression of gratitude, we extend our profound appreciation to our former publisher, Springer. Their contributions and collaborative partnership have played an indelible role in shaping the current standing of our journals.


Congratulations: JEO Fellows 2023

We are pleased to announce the first fellows of the ESSKA JEO Editorial and Research Fellowship at the Rizzoli Institute in Bologna, Italy, under Prof Stefano Zaffagnini’s mentorship:

Barbara Boer, the Netherlands

Angelo Vasiliadis, Greece

 

The Editorial and Research Fellowship received an overwhelming response, and we would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who applied. Due to the unprecedented level of participation and the exceptional quality of applicants, the fellowship positions were expanded to two deserving candidates.

In light of the enthusiastic response, we are pleased to announce that the ESSKA JEO Editorial and Research Fellowship will be offered again next year; two fellowships will be available at Rizzoli Institute with JEO’s Editor-in-Chief, and one in Basic Science with our Associate Editor, Laura de Girolamo in Milan, Italy (September 2024, 9-13).

Congratulations to the selected fellows, and stay tuned for next year’s application details!

Editors’ Picks

Our editorial team has carefully curated a collection of articles that we believe showcase the most exciting and innovative research published in JEO.

From groundbreaking studies on new surgical techniques and implant materials, to cutting-edge discoveries in the fields of biomechanics and regenerative medicine, our Editors’ Picks highlight the best of the best from our publication.

We hope you find our Editors’ Picks both informative and engaging, and we encourage you to explore our full range of articles to discover even more exciting research in the field of orthopaedics.

Sufian S. Ahmad, MD, Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery (CMSC) Charité  Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany

Lindman, I., Nikou, S., Öhlin, A. et al. Evaluation of outcome reporting trends for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome- a systematic review. J EXP ORTOP 8, 33 (2021)

 

The bibliometric analysis described in this manuscript evaluates the trends in the literature regarding surgical treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

According to Dr. Ahmad,”This article provides us with valuable bibliometric information that are very useful in the planning and formulation of clinical study designs.”

Jon Olav Drogset, Prof, Department of Orthopedic Surgery Trondheim University Hospital and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Trondheim, Norway

Hyodo, K., Kanamori, A., Watanabe, R. et al. Does loop length change after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with adjustable loop cortical suspension device?: Observation of the hamstring graft completely filling the femoral tunnel. J EXP ORTOP 10, 67 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1186/s40634-023-00629-5

According to Prof Drogset this is a well performed study that describes the concerns many scientists have regarding the use of adjustable loop cortical suspension devices.

“May that be something we shouldn’t be worried about?”, Prof Drogset questioned himself.

 

Laura de Girolamo, PhD, IRCCS Galeazzi Orthopaedic Institute, Milan, Italy

Pan, R.L., Martyniak, K., Karimzadeh, M. et al. Systematic review on the application of 3D-bioprinting technology in orthoregeneration: current achievements and open challenges. J EXP ORTOP 9, 95 (2022). DOI: 10.1186/s40634-022-00518-3

3D bioprinting (3DBP) is a computer-assisted technology that involves the rapid printing of biofunctional materials and their supporting components in a layer-by-layer manner on a substrate or a tissue culture dish to create complex living tissues and organs.

Dr de Girolamo stated: “As a cell biologist, I am deeply fascinated by this approach which combines so many abilities and skills with a common scope, which is to advance tissue regeneration to provide our patients with a more physiological treatment. I enjoyed very much reading this systematic review which gives a well-structured overview of the current status of 3DBP in orthogeneration, with a focus on cartilage, bone, vasculature, and their osteochondral and vascular bone composites.”

 

Miguel Ruiz Iban, MD, PhD, Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal, Spain

Hochreiter, B., Meisterhans, M., Zindel, C. et al. Computer-assisted analysis of functional internal rotation after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: implications for component choice and orientation. J EXP ORTOP 10, 23 (2023). DOI: 10.1186/s40634-023-00580-5

Dr Miguel Ruiz Iban was impressed by the fact that the authors have made use of state-of-the-art virtual reality tools to simulate many different reverse shoulder arthroplasty designs and find out how design and component selection impact the expected internal rotation. This can help the surgeon in day-to-day decision-making.

According to Dr Ruiz Iban this is not an “easy to read” paper, but its in-depth analysis of this clinical issue is definitely worth the effort. And it is readily available to anyone, free to read, from JEO!

Yuichi Hoshino, JEO Associate Editor, MD, PhD, Kobe University, Japan

Harato K, Iwama Y, Kaneda K, Kobayashi S, Niki Y, Nagura T. Pain detect questionnaire and pain catastrophizing scale affect gait pattern in patients with knee osteoarthritis. J EXP ORTOP 9, 52 (2022). DOI: 10.1186/s40634-022-00492-w

Dr Hoshino commented that this study clearly demonstrated how subjective pain affected the knee movement. The relationship between pain and movement is fairly understandable but has not been well examined.

The study be Harato et al. might pave the way to further studies about the relationship between subjective assessments and physical movements.
