Obere Extremitat

Aims & Scope

The journal Obere Extremität (Upper Extremity) is dedicated to the treatment of injuries, consequences of injuries and diseases in the area of the shoulder and elbow joint. Freely submitted originals present research results of current studies in the field of shoulder and elbow surgery and promote scientific exchange. Promising studies that are currently being carried out are welcome, as are long-term studies that put proven procedures to the test. Case reports illuminate rare indications and describe unusual courses of treatment. Comprehensive reviews on a current focus topic are the core of each issue. The focus is on secured knowledge with high relevance for the daily work in shoulder and elbow surgery. In addition, special sections report on innovative treatment measures, problems in assessment, professional policy developments and congress activities. As a joint communication and further education forum for all surgeons and orthopaedic surgeons with appropriate specialisation, the journal Obere Extremität is future-oriented and closes an important gap in the orthopaedic trauma surgery information offer.
