'''''The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery''''' is a biweekly [[peer review]]ed [[medical journal]] in the field of [[orthopedic surgery]].

It was established as the ''Transactions of the American Orthopedic Association'' in 1889, published by the [[American Orthopedic Association]]. In 1903, volume 16 of the ''Transactions'' became the first volume of the ''American Journal of Orthopedic Surgery'', which was renamed ''Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery'' in 1919 and also became the official journal of the [[British Orthopaedic Association]]. The journal obtained its current name in 1921.

The journal became the organ of the newly founded [[American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons]] in 1933. A British volume was established in 1948, using the name under license from the American volume. In 1954, the American journal incorporated itself as a non-profit organization. The British volume was published by The British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery, a registered charity in the United Kingdom. The American and British volumes were completely independent of each other, and had completely different content. The British volume was renamed ''[[The Bone & Joint Journal]]'' in 2013.
