About the Video Journal
The Video Journal of Sporthopedia is a pioneering open-access, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to surgical video content in sports orthopaedics and musculoskeletal medicine. Recognising that operative technique is best conveyed visually, this journal provides a structured, citable platform for surgeons to share, document, and disseminate high-quality procedural videos with accompanying peer-reviewed commentary.
Each published video is accompanied by a structured abstract, step-by-step technique description, and peer review — ensuring scientific rigour while preserving the educational value of visual demonstration.
