"With JBJS Reviews, we are continuing to respond to the information needs of our audience," commented Kent Anderson, CEO and Publisher at JBJS, Inc.  "We know that review articles are essential reading for orthopaedists at all stages of their careers.  With JBJS Reviews, we are committed to providing quality review content authored by recognized experts, and publishing online enables us to publish continuously, accelerating information transfer," added Anderson.
