History
In 2012, WJO was established as The University of New Mexico Orthopaedics Research Journal to showcase exceptional research from the University of New Mexico Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation.
In 2017, WJO adopted a formal external double-blind peer review process. In 2020, the journal published its first volume under the name Western Journal of Orthopaedics.
We welcome all relevant orthopaedic and engineering submissions. We encourage manuscripts from faculty, fellows, residents, alumni, and colleagues. Thank you for considering Western Journal of Orthopaedics as an avenue to feature your research.
