A new special issue of JBJS centered on the topic of sports medicine is now available. Access the special June 3, 2026 issue at JBJS.org: JBJS Special Issue on Sports Medicine.
“Sports is a universal language that crosses all international barriers. Whether you are a professional athlete, a ‘weekend warrior,’ or just starting a sport, sports bring us all together,” write Guest Editors Antonia F. Chen, MD, MBA, Nicolas S. Piuzzi, MD, and Gilbert Moatshe, MD in an editorial introducing the issue, Sports Unite All of Us. “While sports articles are frequently featured in JBJS issues, this issue shines a spotlight on sports medicine, especially in light of both the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup 2026, which will be played in 16 cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and the Winter Olympics held by the International Olympic Committee in February 2026 in Italy.”

“As our field continues to evolve, the integration of data analytics, advanced imaging, biologics, and large-scale clinical data will further shape how we understand injury, optimize recovery, and personalize care. These advances, however, remain grounded in the human dimension of sports: the relationship between patient-athletes and the clinical teams who support them,” write the Guest Editors.
