Case/Technical report

A Case report should include new educational material, and may describe:

• Unique features or diagnostic/therapeutic approaches of a disease or injury
• An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms
• An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient
• Findings that shed new light on the pathogenesis of a disease

Otherwise, case reports are not considered for publication in Acta Orthopaedica.

The published case report has no abstract and no introduction. It starts with the case story and ends with a discussion. However, a short abstract is required (for reviewer reasons) in the manuscript you submit.
