Welcome to the podcast review of JISAKOS volume 1, issue 6. See full issue here: http://jisakos.bmj.com/content/1/6 Social Media Editor, Peter D. Fabricant, MD, MPH, reviews this issue, including the introductory Editorial by Editor-in-Chief Prof. Niek van Dijk, MD, PhD, which touches upon the idea that “less is more”, and that for some clinical conditions, conservative treatment may be more beneficial than surgery. See Editorial here: http://jisakos.bmj.com/content/1/6/303. Additional topics include proprioception after tibial remnant-sparing ACL reconstruction, current concepts of taping and bracing to prevent ankle sprains, OCD of the elbow, and a review of Arciero's article (1994) on arthroscopic Bankart repair versus non-operative treatment for acute, initial anterior shoulder dislocations.
