Purpose: Pelvic ring fractures (PRFs) management needs adequate facilities and human resources. However, the prehospital ambulance management role in Indonesia is insufficient. Many hospitals have limited resources that necessitate patients to be referred to higher trauma centers.

Although improvement of pelvic trauma care has been successful in decreasing mortality rates in major trauma centers, such changes have not been implemented in low-resource environments such as low-middle-income countries (LMICs). This review details the evaluation and management of pelvic ring fractures and recommends improvements for trauma care in low-resource environments. Prehospital management revolves around basic life support techniques.

Methods: We performed a cross-cultural adaptation of Oxford Hip Score into Indonesian language (OHS-ID) and determined its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, measurement error, floor-ceiling effect, responsiveness, and construct validity by hypotheses testing of its correlation with Harris Hip Score (HHS), vsual analogue scale (VAS), and Short Form-36 (SF-36). Adults (> 17 years old) with chronic hip pain (osteoarthritis or osteonecrosis) were included.
During the past decade, there was an increasing interest in orthopedic research in Indonesia. Therefore we aimed to investigate the profile of Indonesian orthopedic trend publication from 2010 to 2019. Systematic research was conducted to identify all orthopedic articles authored by Indonesian orthopedic surgeons.

Methods: We collected retrospective data of severe (>80°) and rigid scoliosis patients who underwent preoperative traction before correction surgery from 2016 to 2018. The first group consisted of patients who underwent Cotrel traction exercises and second group underwent continuous-progressively increasing Skull Tongs Femoral Traction (STFT) traction.
Purpose: The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is one of the most common patient-reported outcome measures used for low back pain (LBP). Since it was not available in Indonesian, this study aimed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of ODI to Indonesian and evaluate its psychometric properties.
Methods: We performed a cross-cultural adaptation of ODI v2.
Introduction: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can lead to severe deformity. However, early detection and treatment can prevent its progression. Surgical instrumentation for scoliosis treatment has evolved from Harrington instrumentation to pedicle screws.

Methods: From 2010 to 2017, 35 hips (32 patients, 10 men and 22 women) diagnosed with primary ACH were enrolled and followed up for a minimum of two years. Arthroscopic surgery was performed in 17 patients (20 hips, operation group), and conservative treatment was performed in 15 patients (15 hips, control group).
Background: Although many clinical studies have assessed the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in knee osteoarthritis, evidence on their efficacy remains unclear owing to heterogeneity of cell entity and concomitant procedures.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of culture-expanded MSCs in knee osteoarthritis in terms of clinical outcome and cartilage repair via meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) without adjuvant surgery.
Study Design: Meta-analysis.
Purpose: To investigate (1) the prevalence, size, and location of acetabular ossicles in general population; (2) differentiation between the characteristic types of acetabular ossicles: unfused ossification centers (true os acetabuli), rim fractures, labral calcifications and loose bodies; and (3) correlation between acetabular ossicles, and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with symptoms.
Methods: Patients aged 16 to 60 years who underwent abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) with non-orthopaedic indications in 2016 and patients who underwent hip arthroscopy surgery from 2010 to 2016 in our institution were included for asymptomatic and symptomatic groups, respectively. Two investigators evaluated CT images to find the prevalence, size, location of acetabular ossicles, and relationship with symptoms and FAI.
Introduction: Critical-sized defect (CSD) is one of the most challenging cases for orthopaedic surgeons. We aim to explore the therapeutic potential of the combination of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), hydroxyapatite (HA) granules, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and internal fixation for treating CSDs.
Methods: This was a translational study performed during the period of January 2012 to 2016.

Introduction: Both gluteal abscess and sacral tuberculosis are rare entities in spinal tuberculosis cases. Even in endemic country, this atypical presentation may be the cause of delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Presentation Of Case: A 51-year-old woman was admitted with painless massive lump on both of her thighs that have been enlarging for the past 6 months.
Introduction: In performing surgery for fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum, various surgical approaches have been introduced with their own advantages and drawbacks. The extensile nature of ilioinguinal approach gives excellent exposure but was related to wound healing problems. Modified stoppa has a higher difficulty and poses a risk for neurovascular injury.

Although mostly there are no changes that occurred in long-term result following an incidental durotomy, the sequelae are not always benign especially when the herniated nerve root is involved. Preservation and tissue handling is paramount in order to prevent further injury.
