It is with great honor and heartfelt gratitude that we present this issue of the Journal of The Korean Fracture Society, marking a historic turning point in its legacy.
We extend our deepest appreciation to our readers who have supported our journal over the past 36 years and to the researchers whose invaluable contributions have advanced the field of musculoskeletal trauma. Your dedication has been the cornerstone of the journal’s success and its role in fostering innovation in fracture treatment and management.
Since its foundation in 1988, the Journal of The Korean Fracture Society has been a vital platform for disseminating research and clinical insights on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries in Korea. By publishing research in the Korean-language, the journal has enabled the local medical community to exchange knowledge and elevate treatment practices in musculoskeletal trauma. Recognized as a registered journal by the National Research Foundation of Korea since 2008, it has earned the trust of countless researchers and has become a cornerstone of Korean medical scholarship.
Today, we embark on a transformative journey with a new name: Journal of Musculoskeletal Trauma. This change represents more than a simple rebranding; it is a strategic leap toward global recognition and scholarly communication. By transitioning to an English-language journal, we aim to share Korea’s groundbreaking research with a global audience, actively engaging with researchers worldwide and contributing to international advancements in musculoskeletal trauma. Our efforts to be listed in international indexing databases underscore our commitment to raising the journal’s profile and enhancing its academic influence globally.
The Journal of Musculoskeletal Trauma will serve as a conduit for the global exchange of research on fractures and musculoskeletal injuries. Featuring the latest research trends and clinical advancements, it will foster international collaboration and contribute to the improvement of treatment practices worldwide. This new chapter represents a pivotal step in ensuring that the achievements of Korean researchers are recognized on the global stage, while simultaneously enriching the global academic community.
In this transition, we remain deeply committed to our roots. We will honor our historical legacy as a Korean-language journal while embracing the opportunities of an international platform. Our mission is to maintain academic depth and integrity while providing the latest research findings that resonate with both domestic and global audiences. We invite our readers and researchers to continue their valuable contributions, as your support will be instrumental in shaping the journal’s future.
We owe special thanks to the President of the Korean Fracture Society, whose visionary leadership and unwavering dedication have been pivotal in this transition. Your commitment has made this transformation seamless, enabling us to step confidently into the international academic arena.
Finally, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the editorial board members who have worked tirelessly to bring this issue to fruition. Your efforts and passion will serve as the foundation for the journal’s continued success. We look forward to your ongoing engagement and collaboration as we embark on this exciting new chapter together.
Thank you.
