The Journal of Knee Surgery (JKS)

The Journal of Knee Surgery is a specialty journal dedicated to advancing clinical and surgical knowledge in orthopaedic knee surgery. Established in 2004 and published 14 times a year, it provides a forum for original peer‑reviewed research, surgical techniques, case reports, and comprehensive reviews focused on the knee joint. The journal’s scope includes key topics such as arthroscopy, arthroplasty (joint replacement), cruciate ligament reconstruction, cartilage regeneration, bone grafting techniques, and diagnostic imaging like magnetic resonance imaging — all pivotal areas in improving patient outcomes in knee disorders. With its hybrid publishing model, the journal offers both subscription‑based and open access options, and it is indexed in major biomedical databases including Science Citation Index Expanded, MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, and others, ensuring broad dissemination to the orthopaedic community. Under the leadership of Editor‑in‑Chief James P. Stannard, MD, and an editorial office based at the University of Missouri Hospital, the journal emphasizes evidence‑based clinical practice and surgical innovation. Its articles bridge the gap between research and clinical application, making it an essential resource for orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine practitioners, and knee specialists worldwide seeking the latest advances in surgical practice, research insights, and emerging techniques in knee arthroscopy and reconstructive surgery.
