Dear Readers,

More than five decades after its founding, the Sociedad Argentina de Medicina y Cirugía de Pie y Pierna [Argentine Society of Foot and Leg Medicine and Surgery (SAMeCiPP)] continues to serve as a cornerstone in the de-velopment of this subspecialty within orthopedic practice in Argentina, maintaining its commitment to education, continuing professional development, and academic exchange.

Significant advances have been achieved in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle disorders, driven by a better understanding of biomechanics and pathophysiology, the refinement of surgical techniques—both open and minimally invasive—and the development of new implants and reconstructive strategies. This increasingly dynam-ic and challenging landscape demands continuous updating and a strong scientific foundation.

In this context, research plays a central role. The integration of basic science with clinical research not only enhances our understanding of disease mechanisms but also improves therapeutic decision-making and the evalu-ation of treatment outcomes. This interplay between fundamental knowledge and clinical application is essential for the sustained growth of the specialty.

Through the articles presented in this issue—including original clinical research, case reports, and technical notes—we hope to reflect our colleagues’ commitment to advancing knowledge and strengthening evidence-based practice. In this regard, scientific publication is an essential tool for fostering critical thinking, encouraging the exchange of ideas, and promoting continuous improvement.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Editorial Board of the Journal of the Asociación Argen-tina de Ortopedia y Traumatología for its support and collaboration in the preparation of this issue, providing a high-quality forum for scientific communication.

Finally, we invite all members of our community to continue actively participating in the generation and dissem-ination of knowledge, thereby contributing to the advancement of our subspecialty and, ultimately, to improving patient care.
