This month, we are honored to feature an interview with Arun Mullaji, a distinguished knee surgeon with extensive clinical activity. A founding member of the Indian Hip and Knee Surgery Society and past president of the Asia Pacific Arthroplasty Society, Mullaji has shaped the field of arthroplasty through decades of surgical leadership, academic engagement, and contributions to the advancement of knee surgery on an international scale.

The accompanying articles address key areas in joint preservation and reconstruction. Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty are examined with respect to patient selection, procedural indications, and technical precision necessary to ensure durable outcomes. A dedicated contribution on hip arthroscopy on the orthopaedic table outlines technique optimization and complication avoidance. Finally, a pictorial and systematic approach to varus deformity provides a structured framework for deformity assessment and surgical planning.
