      General Intro

      Knee Surgery, Updated!

      Given the plethora of papers published daily in the orthopedic surgery field, it is nearly impossible for each individual to select and read those most pertinent, comprehensive and with trusted source, without sacrificing more of their already limited time, dedicated not only to the clinical practice and surgical field, but also their personal interests and family behaviors.

      Knee Surgery, Updated! is designed to assist knee surgeons, general orthopedic surgeons and orthopedic residents to keep updated in the most important aspects of knee surgery .

      The idea behind Knee surgery, Updated! is to pick it up the most relevant and revised knowledge of each topic in the knee surgery field. Applying the established concept of highest-quality scientific evidence and employing the expertise of our team, we intend to monthly selected papers from the benchmark orthopedic journals in the field, which, in our view, may contribute to implement the reader’s knowledge without loss of time with arduous and demanding reading.

      Evidently, due copyright issues, we limit ourselves to comment, rate and recommend the mentioned papers, according to our pre-established method, and direct our readers to the links where they can achieve the paper abstract or buy the full text form, on agreement of each of the suggested source politics.
