Publisher Pascal Rub traces how the SEMS Journal grew from a print publication for around 1,000 readers into an internationally accessible open-access platform – from the 2019 launch of sems-journal.ch to its 2025 relaunch. A story of open access, DOI referencing and sustained voluntary commitment from SEMS and rubmedia. The post From Print Legacy to Open Knowledge appeared first on SEMS-journal .
In his farewell editorial after 13 years as Editor-in-Chief, Boris Gojanovic reflects on the SEMS Journal as a relay race and on the five values that guided him: legacy, knowledge, sharing, curiosity and passion.

The literature states that ACL ruptures can also be successfully treated conservatively.

However, in non-traumatic presentations managed conservatively, the clinical necessity of precise source localization is increasingly questionable. The post Shoulder or Neck… and does it matter? Challenging Diagnostic Orthodoxy in…
