In 2015, JBJS launched an “article exchange” collaboration with the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT) to support multidisciplinary integration, continuity of care, and excellent patient outcomes in orthopaedics and sports medicine.

During the month of January 2018, JBJS and OrthoBuzz readers will have open access to the JOSPT article titled “Hip and Knee Strengthening Is More Effective Than Knee Strengthening Alone for Reducing Pain and Improving Activity in Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis.”

This study, the findings of which are summarized in the title, found that the positive pain and activity outcomes were achieved without concurrent changes in strength.
