Aims & Scope

Zielsetzung der Zeitschrift Die Zeitschrift Obere Extremität widmet sich der Versorgung von Verletzungen, Verletzungsfolgen und Erkrankungen im Bereich des Schulter- und des Ellenbogengelenks. Frei eingereichte Originalien präsentieren Forschungsergebnisse aktueller Studien im Bereich der Schulter- und Ellenbogenchirurgie und fördern den wissenschaftlichen Austausch. Vielversprechende Studien, die derzeit durchgeführt werden, sind ebenso willkommen, wie Langzeitstudien, die bewährte Verfahren auf den Prüfstand stellen. Fallberichte beleuchten seltene Indikationen und schildern ungewöhnliche Behandlungsverläufe. Umfassende Übersichtsarbeiten zu einem aktuellen Schwerpunktthema sind das Kernstück jeder Ausgabe. Im Mittelpunkt steht gesichertes Wissen mit hoher Relevanz für die tägliche Arbeit in der Schulter- und Ellenbogenchirurgie. Zusätzlich wird in speziellen Rubriken über innovative Behandlungsmaßnahmen, Probleme in der Begutachtung, berufspolitische Entwicklungen und Kongressaktivitäten berichtet. Als gemeinsames Kommunikations- und Weiterbildungsforum für alle Chirurg*innen und Orthopäd*innen mit entsprechender Spezialisierung ist die Zeitschrift Obere Extremität zukunftsorientiert und schließt eine wichtige Lücke im orthopädisch-unfallchirurgischen Informationsangebot. 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.
