No. 033: January-February 2025

This month, we are honored to feature an interview with Cyril Mauffrey, MD, trauma surgeon and Editor-in-Chief of EJOST. His career, shaped across France, Italy, and the United Kingdom before establishing a leading trauma center at Denver Health, centers on complex pelvic and acetabular reconstructions, geriatric fracture management, and hemorrhage control protocols. His commitment to international knowledge transfer through fellow mentorship and editorial leadership defines his lasting contribution to orthopedic trauma surgery.

The clinical articles address diverse subspecialties. Trapeziometacarpal joint imaging in the surgical management of basal thumb arthritis informs operative planning in hand surgery, while orthopaedic surgical site infection prevalence in Egypt contributes epidemiological data on infection control. Ligamentous reconstruction is examined through revision ACL reconstruction, and implant selection is explored in the context of short stems for obese patients. The issue concludes with an anatomical and fluoroscopic review of percutaneous screw fixation of the pelvic ring and acetabulum.
