Please remember to use the most standard name of the condition as the title. This will improve a person’s ability to search for topics and find your article on the web and within the OrthopaedicsOne website.
The article should be 8-10 double spaced 12 point font Word document pages (~2500 words). This is not supposed to be a normal book chapter length but a good, concise reference orthopaedists can consult. This article should be data driven and backed by the literature. It should give orthopaedists the most responsible and latest description of the condition and how to treat it. There should be a list of references at the end for further consultation by the readers if desired. Please remember the intended audience is orthopaedists.
Standard format should be:
- Introduction
- Anatomy
- Biomechanics
- Clinical Presentation
- Pathogenesis
- Classification (Staging)
- Physical Examination
- Imaging
- Conservative Treatment
- Operative Treatment
- Controversy
- References
