Excerpt
Journal Scan will be a feature in which a member of a panel of specialists regularly reviews articles appearing in the specialty literature in his or her field deemed most important. We begin with Dr. Kevin McGuire's review of the January through June 2006 issues of Spine. In the five coming months, Hand, Pediatric, Sports Medicine, and others will appear; then the cycle will begin with the review of the July through December 2006 Spine papers of importance. These reviews are written with the resident reader in mind; offering context and commentary for an interested but not necessarily experienced reader.
50 Years Ago in CORR offers a variation on the theme of The Classic, a CORR staple in which we reprint (and comment on) a classic paper in the field of orthopaedics. In this new feature we offer a brief commentary on papers that appeared in CORR 50 years ago - the classic and the not-so-classic. Again, this is offered to benefit our resident readers. Although some areas with orthopaedics have been blessed with a fairly straight trajectory of improvement, that phenomenon is not uniform. Some journeys have required substantial course modification; some avenues have reached dead ends. Critical reading of today's papers likely will be enhanced by increased awareness of the course of progress.
We plan other features, uniting around the common theme of improving the journal for resident readers.
