The title as well as the shape of our magazine is a bit similar to ESSKA ”Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthrocopy” also the subjects intend to be almost the same concerning beside knee surgery, the surgery of other joints of musculosceletal system.

It is also very important that the Scientific Board of this journal has joined by many well known foreign orthopedic surgeons (see: Scientific Board).  The present personal Scientific Board frame is from the one side, a reason of satisfaction and pride, from the other side however is a kind of warranty of magazine high scientific level. At present we prepare the next issues (4 and 5 number). Last 3 numbers was warmly accepted by wide groups of doctors in Poland.
