Dear readers, researchers and contributors

On the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the Journal of Contemporary Medical Sciences, we reflect on the past achievements and look forward to the future with optimism and determination.

Since its inception, the journal has played a crucial role in advancing medical research by publishing cutting-edge studies and providing a platform for scholars and practitioners to share their findings and insights. The journal has been instrumental in shaping the discourse around key issues in healthcare, from epidemiology and public health to medical ethics and policy.

As we celebrate this milestone, we recognize the invaluable contributions of our authors, reviewers, and editorial board members who have worked tirelessly to uphold the highest standards of academic rigor and intellectual excellence. Without their dedication and expertise, the journal would not have been able to achieve its mission of promoting scientific discovery and improving human health.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We believe that with the support of researchers and contributions from scholars around the world, the journal will continue to be at the forefront of medical research and innovation. We are committed to fostering a culture of collaboration, diversity, and inclusivity, and to expanding our reach and impact.

We invite all researchers and practitioners to join us in this exciting journey and help shape the future of medical science. Together, we can achieve great things and make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of our communities.

Sincerely,

Rare case of lateral dislocation of the elbow without distinct radiological signs
By: Arash Maleki, Mohamad Qoreishi, Saman Shakeri Jousheghan, Katayoon Tajik, Amirhossein Gholami Manzari

While the elbow joint dislocation is one of the most common dislocations, lateral dislocation of elbow is so rare. In this study, we described a 65-year-old woman with lateral elbow dislocation referred to Akhtar Hospital. With full range of motion in supination, pronation, and extension, as well as 60º flexion, the most important finding with this case was that the radiographic findings could not help surgeon to diagnose the lateral dislocation. Therefore, CT-scan was performed. After confirmation, closed reduction was done via a standard maneuver. The patient was followed up for 2 weeks and physiotherapy was ordered. According to this case, when there was an elbow trauma with unusual radiograph without any specific finding to confirm the lateral dislocation, it is recommended to perform CT-scan. The closed reduction and following physiotherapy also are essential for management of this condition.
