It is with great honor that I hereby announce the birth of ARTHROPLASTY, a novel open-access, peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Arthroplasty Society in Asia (ASIA).

ARTHROPLASTY is designed to publish robust, updated and high-quality results that provide insights into all aspects of joint surgery, ranging from clinical and basic research to translational medicine of joint diseases and arthroplasty. Especially welcome are high-quality research papers on biomaterials, biomechanics, prosthetic design, application of new equipment and tools, clinical skills and experience, complication management and post-operative rehabilitation, among others. ARTHROPLASTY also publishes arthroplasty-related communications and guidelines.

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Arthroplasty has now been accepted for indexing in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)!
