Well this is quite literally an action packed issue and getting more active by the day!

Our ever-popular ‘journal watch’ in the online version now hyperlinks directly to the individual research articles. Our first feature, written by Droitwich Knee Clinic orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Oliver Schindler covers the topic of cartilage regeneration and the online version links to a patient education animation as part of the SWARM interactive animations that sportEX purchases access to on behalf of our online subscribers.

We then have an excellent article on chronic compartment syndrome by one of the UK’s most distinguished consultant podiatric surgeons, Dr Nat Padhiar. The online version of this article is supplemented by a playlist of YouTube videos.

Finally the jewels in this issue’s crown in terms of interactivity are the two articles on femoral impingement and arterial compression syndromes in the shoulder (part 2). Both articles feature videos and animations that we hope significantly add to the practical application of the knowledge.
