Background: The complex nature of musculoskeletal diseases and the limitations of existing treatments have driven researchers to explore innovative solutions, particularly those involving stem cells and their derivatives. The utilization of the IPFP as a source of MSC-derived non-cellular products for the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases has gained recognition in recent years. This study aimed to identify the progress of IPFP-derived acellular biologics use in the treatment of orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis and ligament and/or tendon injuries.

Background: Definitive fracture surgery should be performed as soon as the patient's condition allows. However, there may be some delays in the treatment during a pandemic.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate and compare the epidemiology and delays in pediatric fracture management during the pandemic and prepandemic periods in terms of how many cases were delayed, how long were the delays, and the causes for the delays of fracture treatment.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of disability and the most common degenerative disease of the knee that causes enormous pain. As many as 10-15 % of patients requiring total knee arthroplasty (TKA) present with valgus knee deformity. When fully constrained TKA is not possible, the surgeon must use a different method to achieve a good result.

Simultaneous tibial avulsion fractures of both cruciate ligaments occur even more rarely. Over the last decades, many studies have described arthroscopic fixation of acute cruciate tibial avulsion fractures, but arthroscopic treatment in a late presenting patient has not been reported in the literature.

Early Total Knee Arthroplasty as a therapy for secondary knee osteoarthritis induced by Granulomatous mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is still performed rarely.
Case Presentation: A case of left pain and swollen knee in males for 8 months.

Introduction: External fixators are the most common fixation method for fractures with substantial soft tissue compromise. Nonetheless, the frames used are bulky, uncomfortable, and cumbersome to patients. Using locking compression plate (LCP) as an external fixator (low profile external fixation/LPEF) owns the same properties as standard external fixators but may overcome disadvantages because of its low-profile frame.
