Abstract

The Philippine Orthopaedic Association proudly presents the May 2024 issue of the Philippine Journal of Orthopaedics. We aim to come up with two publications a year thanks to the tireless effort of our editor-in-chief Dr. Tammy Dela Rosa, FPOA, the editors, the peer-reviewers, the secretariat, and the contributors.

In this fast-changing world, we are inundated with information that makes it difficult to separate hype from science. Publishing well-thought-out and peer-reviewed articles makes for a richer environment for knowledge. In this edition, we have original articles about a preferred technique for tendon repair and issues with proximal femoral nailing. We also have five case reports that show the uniqueness of our practice in the Philippines and a systematic review of cervical spine myelopathy. We hope to continue to deliver more quality papers in the future.

We acknowledge the continued support of our sponsor, Uratex Philippines, as well as the men and women of the POA. It is ultimately hoped that the scientific articles will help us, orthopaedic surgeons, improve our understanding of the complexities of musculoskeletal conditions and the way we take care of our patients. 

Please enjoy this current PJO edition and continue supporting this worthwhile endeavor
