About CORR
Devoted to disseminating new and important orthopaedic knowledge, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research is a leading peer-reviewed orthopaedic journal and a publication of The Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons. CORR brings readers the latest clinical and basic research and informed opinions that shape today's orthopaedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system.
CORR publishes content of value to both generalists and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment:
- Original articles focusing on timely clinical issues.
- Research articles highlighting the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases.
- Monthly "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the generalist reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information.
- The Classic providing readers the opportunity to review relatively inaccessible articles forming the historical basis for our current practices.
- An Orthopaedic-Radiology-Pathology Conference providing readers an "unknown," case report, presented as would occur clinically; these cases and their discussions are selected for their unusual nature or particular teaching value.
CORR also provides features of particular interest to residents:
- The Journal Scan providing an overview of 6-10 important and recently published articles from the literature in a given specialty.
- The Annotated OP Note written as a regular operative note one might find in the medical record, but additionally providing rationale for important steps, or added tips or tricks for particular steps.
- 50 Years Ago in CORR highlighting a previously published manuscript related to an article in the current issue and comparing or contrasting older concepts or practices with the current; this feature provides readers a sense of the durability or transitory nature of ideas.
