Publisher Thieme, Germany, has announced the appointment of Dr. James P. Stannard as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Knee Surgery, a journal it acquired recently.
Dr. Stannard was the senior editor of the title Surgical Treatment of Orthopaedic Trauma that received first place awards from the Association of American Publishers and the British Medical Book Association. He has authored around 50 peer-reviewed articles and is currently the J. Vernon Luck Distinguished Professor and Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Missouri.
The Journal of Knee Surgery reports on issues relating to the orthopaedic techniques of arthroscopy, arthroplasty and reconstructive surgery of the knee joint. In addition to peer-review articles, the periodical details emerging surgical techniques and includes case studies, reviews and special focus sections on, for instance, trauma and sports medicine.
The new associate editors, Andy Schmidt, Greg Fanelli and Steven Harwin, along with Dr. Stannard and the recently appointed editorial board, aim to expand and maintain the journal's position in the medical publishing domain.
