Scope
The aim of the specialty section Orthopedic Surgery is to improve the well being of people with musculoskeletal conditions by expanding evidence-based knowledge of disease processes, promoting innovation in treatment options, opening debate to test the rigor of current thinking, and supporting moves to protect the sustainability of health care delivery. It will cover all aspects of orthopedic surgery, including shoulder and elbow surgery, surgical sports medicine, orthopedic trauma, foot and ankle surgery, spine surgery, joint reconstruction, and bone and soft tissue tumor surgery. In addition, there will be a focus on basic science, population health science, and health economics where it is directly applicable to the field of orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic Surgery will connect researchers and clinicians with their patients through the translation of discoveries and innovation into safe, effective, and efficient treatments. Critical to this will be a multidisciplinary approach, which leverages the expertise of different groups to tackle the multifactorial nature of complex musculoskeletal problems. This specialty section will achieve this by developing a knowledgeable and experienced team of editors and reviewers, rapid processing of manuscripts, assisting authors to produce high quality scientific articles, and drawing attention to important questions and issues through thematic publications. In addition, being nested as a specialty section within Frontiers in Surgery will allow for cross-disciplinary dialogue with other specialties such as surgical oncology, and plastic and reconstructive surgery.Indexed in: PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, ESCI, CLOCKSS

Articles published in the section Orthopedic Surgery will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Surgery.
