Joint Arthroplasties: From Surgery to Recovery

Dear Colleagues,

We are proud to announce a call for papers on total joint arthroplasties and the timeline from surgery to rehabilitation and recovery. This special issue is devoted to orthopedic surgeons and all other physicians involved in the road to recovery after a total joint arthroplasty. Particular emphasis will be given to innovation in surgical techniques and rehabilitation. Furthermore, the discussion of long-term outcomes and follow-up of total joint arthroplasties is a particular area of interest of this Special Issue and submissions of this kind are strongly encouraged. Selected case reports on very particular situations and small case-series reporting new surgical techniques may also be accepted. Meta-analysis and literature reviews on specific topic are also welcomed.
