The International Journal of Shoulder Surgery has, since its founding in 2006, focussed on science and research on the shoulder joint. The journal enters its 10th year of publication in 2016, and will broaden its scope to include techniques and research pertaining to the entire upper limb. A new Editorial Board of eminent surgeons will help to provide a platform for emerging technologies and exciting research in the field of shoulder, elbow and wrist pathologies.
