It is with great pleasure that we present the third volume of our Journal. For copyright reasons we have a new name and appearance but our goals remain unchanged.

I am honored to be the Editor-in-Chief this year. It gave me the opportunity to learn and understand the many facets of the editorial process. I now realize the effort and attention to detail that is required in such a creative endeavor. I would like to thank Dr. Herndon and the Executive Committee for their support.This journal would not have materialized without the contributions of my co-editors: Greg, Don, Conrad, Brandon, and David. A special thanks to Diane, who worked hard behind the scenes. She was always there to make sure I knew when the deadlines were past due!!

We dedicate this journal to Dr.William Harris. He has been a pioneer in the field of Orthopaedics for over 50 years. Dr.Harris holds a special place in the hearts of all the residents because of his outstanding clinical teaching and his unwavering commitment to research.He is an inspiration and role model for us all.

This June marks the culmination of my residency in the Harvard Combined Orthopaedics Program. I would not be here but for the help, encouragement, guidance and mentorship of Dr.Sushil Gupta, Dr.Jamie Watkins, Dr.Peter Mowschenson, and Dr.Stephen Lipson among numerous others. I have spent five wonderful years here and have enjoyed working with all the residents and talented faculty. I wish the best to all of you and hope that the marvelous tradition of this journal continues onward.
