President's Message

Ever since the relaunch of the Philippine Journal of Orthopaedics in 2023, it has been with pride and joy that we present each and every publication. In 2023, we published one issue and in 2024 we were able to come up with two. For the year 2025 the PJO editorial board has decided to publish three! This is in line with the mission and vision of the Philippine Orthopaedic Association, which is to promote excellence in research. In this edition there are seven interesting original articles, one systematic review, and two case reports. Submissions have been increasing and those selected are all worth reading. We hope to publish more quality papers in the future and inspire more of our colleagues and residents to write and share their scientific findings with all of us. It is our duty as orthopedic surgeons to expand our knowledge and improve patient care. We acknowledge the continued support of our sponsor, Uratex Philippines, in this worthwhile scientific endeavor. Enjoy reading! We encourage you to let us know your opinions.
