Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), part of Wolters Kluwer Health, has
launched a new journal for the practicing orthopaedic surgeon, Current
Orthopaedic Practice (COP). The new journal is an evolution of Current
Opinion in Orthopaedics, a review journal published by LWW since
1990.
“This new journal combines the best aspects of Current
Opinion in Orthopaedics—in-depth review
articles focusing on the latest developments in orthopaedic practice—with
original clinical research and special departments,”
Andrew H. Crenshaw Jr., MD, the new editor-in-chief of COP and
Associate Professor in the University of Tennessee–Campbell
Clinic, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Memphis Tennessee. “Our
authors and board members are in active orthopaedic practice, and know
how important it is to get clinically relevant research and news in a
clear and succinct format.”
A bimonthly, print and online journal, COP will address the full
scope of orthopaedics, covering the latest techniques and newest
thinking in treating disorders of the spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist,
hand, hip, knee, foot and ankle, as well as issues and controversies in
pediatric orthopaedics, orthopaedic trauma and sports medicine.
Four-color photographs, illustrations, and web-based media will help
provide critical key information that physicians need to effectively
manage patients.
In addition to the print and online journal, subscribers will receive Current
Orthopaedic Practice eNews, an electronic newsletter to be
distributed in months in which the print journal is not published. The
e-newsletter will distill current news and research into a quick-read,
user-friendly format. Subscribers to COP will also gain access to
LWW online archives, including the complete online archive of Current
Opinion in Orthopaedics, from 1990 to 2008, and archives of Clinical
Orthopaedics & Related Research from 1976 to 2007.
“LWW has a long publishing tradition in the
field of orthopaedics, and we are excited about this new opportunity to
leverage our archival content, and develop a new precedent for practical
information for the practicing physician,”
said Betsy Jones, EVP of journal publishing at Wolters Kluwer Health.
