JTO - June 2026
This issue of JTO offers a striking reflection of technological innovation, data-driven evidence, multidisciplinary collaboration and deeply human experiences that have shaped modern practices in trauma and orthopaedics.
A reminder of the immense value of robust systems and high-quality data is provided by Derek Pegg and colleagues, where they discuss the importance of National Joint Registry (NJR) data quality, the persistent inequalities between institutions and the practical pressures faced by hospitals struggling to maintain data compliance. Crucially, I am sure we all recognise the importance of supporting the NJR in driving trustworthy research, implant surveillance and patient outcomes.
The issue’s features covering education start with a historical perspective through a thoughtful review of the AO Foundation by Professor Peter
Giannoudis. It is a reminder that many of the concepts now taken for granted in trauma surgery emerged from visionary collaboration, science, engineering, disciplined documentation and education. It is further explored in the collaborative article from the BOA, BOTA and British Hip Society Schools Outreach Programmes.
