Publishing launches new journal!
Orthopaedic Trauma Directions
AO Clinical Investigation and AO Publishing
have developed “Orthopaedic Trauma Directions” (OTD),
a bimonthly publication that explores the latest advances in orthopedic traumatology through Evidence
Reports. This new publication is the successor to "AO Recommended Literature".
The first issue is available as a downloadable PDF-file.
OTD is an innovative format that summarizes a variety of articles on the same cutting-edge topic
(treatment, outcome, clinical questions etc.). It is an efficient tool to help surgeons keep pace
with important advances in orthopedic surgery by reducing the time necessary to review the literature.
Stay at the forefront of orthopedic trauma with this state-of-the-art
journal!
