PUBLICATIONS & JOURNALS  

Why haven't I received my JAAOS Journal?  

After 20 years of print and online issues, JAAOS is now all-digital. The final print issue distributed was the December 15, 2025, issue. This transition represents a significant advancement in our commitment to enhancing the dissemination of knowledge, access to critical musculoskeletal research, and fostering a more dynamic and collaborative exchange of ideas related to the latest advancements in orthopaedics and the evolving landscape of clinical practice and public health.
