INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS Case Reports CASE REPORTS (Fewer than 2000 words) We receive a large number of case reports and typically accept those of exceptional teaching value. DEFINITION: Articles reporting a small number of patients (typically 1-5) patients with: (1) a diagnostic dilemma; (2) an unusual manifestation of disease processes; (3) an unusual treatment challenge; (4) an unanticipated early failure or complications of some treatment. We typically do not accept cases in which two entities are associated since conditions may occur coincidentally, rather than causally. Authors must include a comprehensive literature review if a rare event. Must contain Introduction, Case Report, and Discussion. The Introduction should include the need and rationale for the new technique. Must use text TEMPLATE for guide: (see below). Authorship (Navigate below) We believe it important to document the adequate participation of all authors in at least three major elements of a study and report; the number of authors will generally relate to the scope of the project. For case reports we request no more than 4 authors. In all cases, however, multiple contributions of each author must be documented in our required form addressing copyright transfer, authorship, and conflicts of interest. Authors are encouraged to read “Thoughts on Authorship” Clin Orthop Rel Res 2008; 466:1002-5. Conflict of Interest statement (Navigate below) Authors of all manuscripts published in CORR must clarify any and all potential conflicts of interest. On the Title Page please note any funding or financial support or potential sources of conflict of interest: Consultancies, stock ownership, equity interest, patent/licensing arrangements, etc. If any author has directly received research funding and/or has potential conflicts of interest, State One or more of the authors () has received funding from and note the source and the initials of those authors who received funding in the parenth
