JAAOS Journal Club: Recent Episodes

American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

JAAOS® (aka the Yellow Journal) is a trusted source of cutting edge primary research and in-depth review articles from world experts in the field of orthopaedics. The JAAOS Journal Club brings select faculty together to discuss a specific topic based on chosen JAAOS articles. Every two months starting in September 2021, join us as select faculty members identify and discuss articles related to upcoming AAOS Courses. This podcast is intended for residents and fellow orthopaedic surgeons alike, so they can note which courses they’d like to attend and expand their knowledge.
