Old School: Arthroscopy's 25th Anniversary

Abstract

When some loud bragger tries to put me downAnd says his school is greatI tell him right away“Now what's the matter buddyAin't you heard of my school?It's number one in the state!”So be true to your school nowJust like you would to your girl or guyBe true to your school nowAnd let your colors flyBrian Wilson, Mike Love, The Beach Boys: Be True to Your School, 1963January 2010 represents the commencement of the 25th anniversary year of the Arthroscopy journal, and we are celebrating the occasion by announcing that “our school” is now an “old school.” We call our school Arthroscopy, and we are letting our true colors fly and showing our loyalty and everybody knows that the color of our cover is green. We try to keep up to date with modern, urban slang, so when we say we're going “Old School” we mean, “Anything that is from an earlier era and looked upon with high regard or respect.”1Definition of “old school.”.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=old+schoolGoogle ScholarThe PastThis issue's cover is “Old School.” Savor the memories. And there is something new; we've created a 25th Anniversary Banner that readers will also see on the front cover of each issue this year to remind us of this milestone. The “Old School” cover is truly unique in our nostalgic rerelease, because we'll return to our 21st century cover design next month. When this cover was first seen in 1985, the Journal was published just 4 times a year with 75 pages per issue. How we have grown. This unique “Old School” issue contains many special features:Twelve Classic ArticlesAssociate Editor Ken Oates kicks off a special 25th Anniversary series that will review, over the coming year, 12 classic articles from our past.
