Who can write for Orthoscope?

Anyone with orthopaedically oriented information or ideas to share with others.  Manuscripts, cartoons, photos or other original material may be submitted.

What makes a good article?

The subject is interesting, i.e. a new program, an individual interpretation of an issue or theme, a better way of doing something.  We welcome articles that promote improvement in clinical practice and research.  The author is knowledgeable and informed about the subject.  The style is informal, personal, and readable.  Controversy  is welcome.

What about the length of the article?

There is no minimal length for articles but most short articles are about 500 to 1000 words in length.  Be your own first editor - condense where possible before submission.

Would illustrations help?

Photos, drawings and graphs catch the eye and add interest.  Black and white glossy photographs are best.  Colour slides and prints can be adapted.

What about references?

References and bibliographies must be complete if they are to be utilized as resources for further study by our readers.  They may be submitted in any acceptable literary format.

How to submit your article?

You will require two copies of your manuscript.  These should be typed (electronic copies).  E-mail (or mail) one copy and keep one copy for yourself.  Send a covering letter containing a brief biographical sketch and a photograph of yourself to:
