Abstract

This year’s edition of the Philippine Journal of Orthopaedics marks a milestone in research history for the Philippine Orthopaedic Association. Not only has our Association’s official journal been revived; it has been transformed into a peer-reviewed and indexing-ready publication, poised to join the ranks of credible orthopaedic journals in the region.

This achievement owes its realization to the generosity of our loyal and research-oriented sponsor, Uratex. But more importantly, we give credit to Dr. Tammy Dela Rosa, who graciously accepted the role of Editor-In-Chief. Under his tutelage, we expect more of our work to grace the international stage and align with global standards.

As we celebrate this achievement, let us continue producing quality research, well-grounded on the principles of ethics and integrity. Each study, innovative idea, and unique experience adds to our knowledge in Orthopaedics. With this publication, we showcase not only our clinical outcomes, but also our best scholars in the field of research.

So, as our mentors say, pass your papers now!
