The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery is a peer reviewed medical journal in the field of orthopaedic surgery. First published in 1887 (as Transactions of the American Orthopedic Association), it acquired its current title in 1922 and is published by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. in Needham, Massachusetts, USA.

In 1948 The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. licensed the name of their journal to The British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery.
