Editor’s Note
Volume 4, Number 4, November 2022
The JPOSNA® Editorial Team hopes that you enjoy this latest edition. We are sure you will recognize the increase in peer-reviewed Original Research while we maintain an educational focus on topics and techniques. Procedural papers in this issue by Montgomery et al. will help me plan for hip reconstruction in cerebral palsy, and Padgett et al. inform me how to avoid calcaneocuboid subluxation during calcaneus lengthenings. We further appreciate Vince Mosca’s perspective on the later paper from his 35 years of practice. This is must-read practical pediatric orthopaedics, and we hope you feel the same!
Despite these individual papers, I would like to highlight collective contributions published in JPOSNA®. We are grateful to Ryan Muchow and his team of authors and editors who, with this issue, completed a 2-year focus on pediatric orthopaedic coding (JPOSNA® Coding Corner). With outside consultant Sarah Wiskerchen, Ryan directed a review of coding strategies partnered with Stephanie Holmes, Christopher Iobst, Emily L. Niu, Jennifer Beck, JR Cruz, David Spence, Christopher Makarewich, Alfred Mansour, Courtney Selberg, Geovanny Oleas-Santillan, Jonathan Schiller, Grant Hogue, Carley Vuillermin, Christine A. Ho, and Jennifer Bauer. We would also like to acknowledge Elizabeth Hubbard and her team for the outstanding supplement on Pediatric Orthopaedic Education published this past August.
These collections and future supplements (2022 Annual Meeting Pre-Course on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion coming February 2023) can now be accessed under the Related Content section on the home page of the JPOSNA® website.The JPOSNA® Editorial Board is always looking to innovate and provide value to our Society.
