Dr. Swiontkowski has stepped down
from his role as Case Connector CoEditor but will remain as Editor-in
Chief of JBJS. “I am confident that
Ron and Tom will help move Case
Connector into position as a foremost
resource for clinicians seeking guidance and information on rare and
unusual conditions from across the
globe,” said Dr. Swiontkowski on the
JBJS OrthoBuzz website.
Dr. Lindsey is a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation and Chair
of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation at the University
of Texas Medical Branch, as well as a
former Associate Editor for JBJS. After
receiving his medical degree from
Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and completing
an orthopedic residency at Yale-New
Haven Hospital, Dr. Lindsey pursued
several fellowships at prestigious European orthopedic institutions, including
AO and spine fellowships at the University of Basel, and a spine fellowship at
the University of Marseilles.
“I look forward to working with Dr.
Bauer and the JBJS Case Connector editorial board to continue building a premier online database of peer-reviewed
orthopaedic cases and the technology
that enables orthopaedists to efficiently
filter case information,” said Dr. Lindsey. “Our goal will always be to assist
orthopaedic surgeons in the search
for clinical precedents, connections,
and trends in their efforts to improve
patient care.”
Dr. Lindsey told OTW, “With the help
of fellow Co-Editor Tom Bauer and
our editorial board, my first steps will
be to ensure a seamless transition into
my new role and uphold the venerable
goal and vision of my predecessor, Marc
Swiontkowski who established JBJS

Case Connector as the leading resource
for rare and/or unusual orthopaedic
cases worldwide.”
“My priorities are to increase the number
and quality of manuscript submissions
from around the globe, to maintain and
expand a group of competent reviewers who are experts in their respective fields, and to grow the readership.
Ultimately, this would make JBJS Case
Connector a vibrant online platform for
exchanging orthopaedic experience
and knowledge.” — EH
