Editorial

Warm wishes for the New Year and greetings from the editorial board. It is our great pleasure to showcase our issue of the Journal of Karnataka Orthopaedic Association which is being released during the 47th annual conference of the Karnataka Orthopaedic Association. This issue has articles related to technologies in total knee arthroplasties, proximal tibial fractures and very interesting case reports related to 3D printing, supercutaneous plating technique and rare case reports of PIN syndrome and calcaneal tumor.
I must admit that the issue has been brought out with great difficulty due to paucity of submissions. However, the efforts of the executive committee of KOA and many KOA members have resulted in submission of many of these articles. The editorial team has worked very hard to put the issue in place in its present form. We would also like to thank our peer reviewers for their prompt and timely reports and suggestions.
I urge our KOA members to also have a look at the previous issue of JKOA which is available online, the content of which has a very interesting review article on the management of Complex regional pain syndrome and also an unique approach to the hip joint.
As we go through the process of indexing our journal as per the NMC requirements, I request and urge our members to support us in these crucial times by regularly submitting articles which will be always remembered by our future generations. Our Journal of KOA would definitely attain the best of indexing and academic repute in the near future.

Sincerely

Editorial

Wishing all our KOA members warm greetings and a very happy new year from the JKOA editorial team. We are delighted to bring you the August-September 2022 issue of KOA Journal. We express a sincere thanks to all our members for their valuable support in submitting scientific articles which made this current issue possible.
This issue brings a refreshing review on the topic which remains a thorn pricking on all our members. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome continues to provoke our imagination and this review comes out with relevant new information on diagnosis and evidence for management. We have a succinct description of a surgical technique on a modified posterior approach to the hip. There are three very interesting case reports which mentions of unique challenges we face in dealing with not so uncommon problems in our practice.
The Editorial team wishes to receive many more articles on the good scientific work being done by our members.
Thanking you all and wishing once again a very prosperous year ahead.

Sincerely
Dr Anil K. Bhat

Dear All,

“When things do not go your way, remember that every challenge, every adversity contains within it the seeds of opportunity and growth.”  Roy T. Bennett

Nothing else can be better evidenced by the above statement than the current situation we are in. The pandemic made us realise the daunting challenges in public health, tribulation in maintaining the normal rhythm of life and immense opportunities to grow and rediscover our potential and strength.

For the orthopaedic surgeon, in particular, assuming the role of front line warriors along with other health care teams, adapting novel ways of performing surgeries in these trying times, embracing online learning and teaching and now, finally planning offline academic events, life is surely coming towards a full circle.

The catastrophe of the pandemic showed surgeons how innovative methods of telemedicine, webinars, virtual conferences and meetings can still keep us connected and cause no dent in our academic pursuits. Yes, there is the dark side of this pandemic which resulted in many of our colleagues losing lives, livelihood and going through one of the turbulent periods of our lives. We bow to their sacrifices and stand in support of their dear ones.

The publishing team has continued to work to not disappoint the authors who have kept faith in us and hence, this issue is being published in its usual schedule. I thank the entire team for this, along with our esteemed reviewers for the journal, KOA members and the office bearers for their constant support.

Best wishes for the year ahead
