This month, we are honored to feature an interview with Professor Abdeljabbar Messoudi, President of SMACOT. The first physician in his family, Professor Messoudi traces a trajectory shaped by humanism and determination, from general practice in Dakhla to an academic career in Casablanca. His sustained commitment to orthopaedic surgery now extends to the transmission of knowledge and the international development of Moroccan orthopaedics.

This issue addresses several domains of trauma and joint pathology. In foot and ankle trauma, the management of bimalleolar equivalent fractures examines whether the medial approach should be systematic. Shoulder pathology is explored through two decades of experience with acromioclavicular joint dislocations and a historical-clinical perspective on scapulohumeral periarthritis and the stiff shoulder. Finally, pelvic trauma is advanced by osteotaxis, a technique proposed for the treatment of acetabular fractures.
