Gwo-Chin Lee, M.D., FAAOS hip and knee surgeon at HSS is the new editor-in-chief of the Journal of the AAOS Global Research & Reviews. Dr. Lee began fully overseeing the publication January 1, 2024

“The Journal of the AAOS (JAAOS) and more recently JAAOS Global have always been excellent resources for orthopedic surgeons at various stages of their careers,” Dr. Lee said. “The caliber of high-quality, peer-reviewed content is unmatched, as it provides well-researched, topical, clinical, and balanced information on relevant topics affecting our daily practices.”

“As a deputy editor for JAAOS prior to assuming my current role, I learned many things,” Dr. Lee told OTW. “First, I was excited to see that the quality of research within our field is continually increasing. The increase in the level of evidence of our studies will allow us to make data-based decisions to improve the quality of care for our patients.”

“Second, I came to appreciate how journals which form the repository of knowledge rely greatly on the ‘labor of love’ from our consultant reviewers. Without their expertise and insight, this improvement in research quality would not be possible. Therefore, one of my goals as editor-in-chief is to continue to uphold the high-quality standards of JAAOS Global Research and Reviews and to work to help ease the barrier to publication to our contributors, reviewers, and editors.”
