About the Journal

Our journal is Hungarian Traumatology Orthopedics Hand Surgery Plastic Surgery, a specialized journal with a long history, founded in 1958 by the National Institute of Traumatology. The journal has been published under its current title since 1992, and has become the official journal of four medical professional societies (Hungarian Traumatology Society, Hungarian Orthopedic Society, Hungarian Hand Surgery Society and the Hungarian Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Society). The practical purpose of the journal is to provide the practitioners of the four related professions (traumatology, orthopedics, hand surgery, plastic surgery) with up-to-date information on the current problems of the related professions, the latest treatment methods, and the available healing results.
