The Orthopod Mailing List is supervised by the Internet Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Trauma (ISOST) as part of Orthogate.

Orthopod is for orthopaedic surgeons, residents/trainees, allied health professionals or orthopaedic industry.

For orthopaedic surgery and trauma, the Orthopod Mailing List will:

• provide a high quality world-wide forum for academic discussion
• provide an information sharing service for basic science and clinical practice research
• be a discussion forum of contemporary issues, reports of relevant meetings, conferences, articles and publications
• not be a forum for single case reports unless these are supported by references to the literature
• liaise with the community on the services provided
• be subdivided into trauma and orthopaedics when the list size grows and the community requests it
• be a list that is accessed only by subscription and not be directly moderated
• archive discussion on the Internet for future use
