EXPERIENCE THE STRENGTH OF TENDON-TO-BONE HEALING - 1

The Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation is an Open Access journal. The advantage of open access journals is that they are accessible to a global readership audience that does not have to pay a subscription fee for the journal. For most journals, the editing and process costs are offset by an Article Processing Fee paid by the author or the author’s institution. Here at The Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation we believe authors should have ready access to have their work published and therefore we do not charge for submission, acceptance, or article processing fees.
