Over the past few years, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery has received more than half of its manuscript submissions from outside North America, yet it had no international members of its editorial board. In addition, the percentage of reviewers from outside North America has been small. The Journal has now taken important initial steps to begin to remedy the lack of representatives of the global orthopaedic community on our editorial board. Six new members of the editorial board from outside North America have been added. This group of international deputy editors represents not only multiple regions but multiple subspecialties. Plans are in place to add three more international deputy editors each year in 2012 and 2013.
