Scalpel At The Cross was featured in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery in December of 2019. The Article was written by Bradley Lezak, Peter Cole Jr., Lisa K. Schroder, and Peter A. Cole. The article talks about how musculoskeletal disorders and injuries represent a substantial proportion of the global burden of disease. This burden is particularly prevalent in low and middle-income countries that already have insufficient health-care resources. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the vision, the history, the implementation, and the challenges in establishing an orthopaedic surgical mission in a developing nation to help address the epidemic of musculoskeletal trauma.
