Abstract
Social media has transformed the way we communicate, including truncating the manner in which we converse. A positive result is that we are mindfully succinct as we acclaim our annual research prize winners. Just as investigations have limitations, we are limited in the number of publications that we can recognize. We are excited to celebrate our outstanding papers.
Social media has transformed the way we communicate in many ways, and one of the unintended consequences is truncation in the manner in which we now converse. Twitter and it's character limit may force us to get to the core of our message.
1
A positive result is that we get right to the point as we recognize research excellence. The odds of having a submission accepted for publication in Arthroscopy are long; winning an award even more so.2
Congratulations are thus much in order for our winners and runners up.Clinical Research Award Winners
The previous recipient of the Arthroscopy Journal Award for Clinical Research was “Periarticular Injection Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Pain Relief After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial” authored by Kenji Kurosaka, Sachiyuki Tsukada, Hiroshi Nakayama, Tomoya Iseki, Ryo Kanto, Ryo Sugama, and Shinichi Yoshiya.

The 2018 winner of the Arthroscopy Award for Clinical Research Excellence is “No Functional Difference Between Three and Six Weeks of Immobilization After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Trial” by Kjersti Jenssen, Kirsten Lundgreen, Jan Madsen, Rune Kvakestad, Are Pripp, and Sigbjørn Dimmen.
4
This Level I investigation is clinically relevant, yet in his Editorial Commentary, “Avoid Passive Acceptance of Early Active Range of Motion After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair,”5
William Ciccone cautioned that “Following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, there is a balance between allowing reliable tendon healing and regaining range of motion.” Our other finalists are noted in Table 1.Table 12018 Arthroscopy Journal Clinical Research Award Winner (*) and Runners-up

We salute a number of authors and institutions here recognized for more than one publication; obviously, such outstanding research performance requires both talent and dedication. We also applaud a number of our reviewers and editors for being recognized for their research excellence in this editorial. During the selection process, editors were recused from selecting their own research as award winning. Moreover, “as ever, the prize selection subcommittee was blinded as to authors when selecting the finalists for each award.”

Just as investigations have limitations, we are limited in the number of publications that we can recognize. We are excited to celebrate our outstanding papers. “All winners will receive $1,000 and …everlasting glory.”

The Editorial Team wishes all our readers a happy and productive new year.References
