  • Great review

    Orthopedic resident here. Look forward to this every month! Great summary of some of the articles but I really enjoy the interviews with the authors of the featured article. It’s interesting to hear the person/people behind these articles describe the process and their story

The author interviews offer insight into the current research landscape & varying institutional ... more
