The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has announced Dr. Thomas W. (Quin) Throckmorton as the editor-in-chief designee of OrthoInfo.org, the AAOS’ patient education website.
OrthoInfo is a leading online resource for orthopaedic information. With more than two million unique monthly visitors per month, OrthoInfo offers patients reliable resources to help them better understand musculoskeletal conditions and make informed decisions about their health. The site features more than 400 articles and videos on bone and joint conditions, treatments, and injury prevention, many of which are also available in Spanish.
Dr. Throckmorton believes that patient education is an integral part of providing the highest quality of musculoskeletal care. As editor-in-chief of OrthoInfo, Dr. Throckmorton holds a position on the AAOS’ Communications Committee. He previously served on the AAOS Board of Directors (2018 to 2020) and the AAOS Central Instructional Course Committee (2012 to 2017), where he was chairman from 2014 to 2015. He was assistant editor for the AAOS Instructional Course Lectures textbook and also spent one year as copy editor. That experience, along with his work on the Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics textbooks, gave Dr. Throckmorton valuable experience in publishing.
