As we present the second issue of Volume 6 of the Journal of Arthroscopic Surgery and Sports Medicine (JASSM), we reflect on our journal’s remarkable progress in disseminating cutting-edge research and clinical advancements. This issue showcases diverse studies that underscore the innovation and rigor driving forward arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine.

This edition features groundbreaking research spanning diagnostic techniques, surgical innovations, and rehabilitation strategies. Key contributions include:

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and rehabilitation: Studies such as “Peroneus Longus Autograft with Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis for Revision ACL Surgery” ^[1] and “Long-Term Outcomes of ACL Reconstruction: Peroneus Longus vs. Hamstring Tendons”^[2] provide critical insights into graft selection and outcomes. Meanwhile, “Triangular Notch Morphology in Young Males Linked to Increased Risk of Non-Contact ACL Tears”^[3] explores how certain anatomical factors can increase the risk of ACL tears.
Shoulder surgery advancements: The “Chandigarh Classification,” a novel system for categorizing glenoid morphology in reverse shoulder arthroplasty and radiological evaluations post-Bankart repair, highlights evolving pre-operative planning and post-operative assessment tools.^[4]
Technique innovations: Arthroscopic methods, such as the “Lelli Test,” a comprehensive diagnostic tool for ACL injuries, and novel repair techniques for meniscal tears, demonstrate the field’s commitment to minimally invasive precision.^[5]
Sports injury epidemiology: Systematic reviews on badminton injuries and cardiovascular risk assessments in school athletes emphasize the importance of injury prevention and holistic athlete care.^[6]

This issue of JASSM is a testament to the dynamic spirit of our community – a blend of meticulous research, clinical innovation, and a forward-looking perspective. Each article is a building block, contributing to the stronger, more effective practice of arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine.

A MILESTONE IN DISSEMINATING KNOWLEDGE

We proudly announce that JASSM has achieved nearly 400,000 downloads in the first 6 months of 2025, a testament to its global reach and impact. Since its inception 5 years ago, the journal has garnered more than 1.5 million downloads, solidifying its role as a trusted resource for clinicians, researchers, and surgeons worldwide. This trust is a reflection of the quality and relevance of our content, and we are committed to maintaining this standard in the future.

Our recent indexing in Embase, a prestigious biomedical database, further validates the quality and relevance of our content. This milestone reflects the dedication of our authors, reviewers, and editorial team to advancing evidence-based practice in arthroscopy and sports medicine.

LOOKING AHEAD

As we continue to publish high-impact research, we invite contributions pushing innovation’s boundaries, from novel surgical techniques to long-term outcome studies. We aim to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

My sincere thanks to our dedicated authors, our reviewers’ sharp eyes, and our engaged readers. Your contributions are invaluable and greatly appreciated! Together, we are trying to shape the future of arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine, and I am deeply grateful for your continued support.
