Welcome to the Journal of the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics!
The Academy is very proud to publish the resurgence of the Journal of the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics (JAOAO) online. The JAOAO was originally edited in print form by Dr. Daniel Morrison in the 1980’s. This accomplishment represents the combined efforts of a talented volunteer editorial board, the support of AOAO leadership, and the creative work of our administrative team. It is our hope the Journal thrives as an outlet for scholarly activity for our Academy members, both present and future.
This issue is identified as Volume VI, continuing the invaluable contribution of Dr. Morrison.
Steven J. Heithoff, DO, FAOAO

Peer Review
All article submissions are subject to a double-blind peer review process by board-certified orthopedic surgeons who have interest, skill, knowledge, experience and expertise in the respective field of study.
Submissions will be cleansed of author identification for objectivity purposes when sent to the editorial staff. The editorial staff will make recommendations for acceptance and revisions to the Editor-in-Chief, who then makes final decisions.
