Wrist Arthroscopy in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Since its inception in 2012, the Journal of Wrist Surgery has published excellent articles in the past 6 years and is now recognized as one of the target journals for research on wrist surgery. Till 2017, the Journal has been publishing four issues per year. In 2018 we have decided to increase the frequency to five issues because of the positive feedback from the scientific community. The Journal publishes articles on varied categories like “Special Reviews,” “Scientific Articles,” “Emerging Technologies and New Technological Concepts,” “Procedures,” “Surveys or Meta-Analyses,” “Case Reports,” and “Letters to the Editor.”

The Special Review articles describe a “special topic” of wrist, such as Kienböck disease, scapholunate ligament injury, scaphoid fracture/nonunion, or anatomy of distal radius. These are special articles invited by the Editor-in-Chief or the Assistant Editors of the journal for every issue. With the increased number of issues from 2018 the Journal would now require more such articles. So, we hereby invite “Special Reviews” from the authors and eminent researchers on the above-mentioned topics. “Special Reviews” on any other topics on the wrist are also welcome.

This issue includes the “Special Review” entitled “Wrist Arthroscopy in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Review of Current Literature and Future Implications” described by Vermaak et al. They review the usefulness of wrist arthroscopy in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This is the first “Special Review” from open recruitment. This issue also includes interesting articles on wrist, such as the scapholunate ligament, volar locking plate for distal radius fracture, TFCC lesion, technique for CMC arthroplasty, and survey for diagnostic image modalities.
