Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, ‘Advanced Management of Small Animal Fractures’, which is within the scope of this journal.
Orthopedics and trauma surgery are clinically challenging, dealing with injuries and related diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Over the last decade, we have seen developments in all aspects of small animal orthopedic surgery, using invasive procedures and non-invasive and non-surgical methods to correct and treat disease. The introduction of new types of implants with different shapes, sizes, and new biocompatible materials allow for veterinary orthopedic surgeons to use new and advanced orthopedic treatments. Traumatic skeletal injuries and their consequences can greatly affect patients’ quality of life, and may also affect their owners economically. It is thus important that our patients receive the highest-quality treatment by experienced surgeons. Consequently, there is an increasing need for interdisciplinary treatment strategies.
The aim of this Special Issue is to reflect the clinical aspects of advanced methods of fracture repair in dogs and cats. Particular attention will be given to fracture assessments, bone healing, and the regenerative processes associated with the evaluation of new implants and techniques.
I am inviting original research papers that contribute to our understanding of traumatology. Original research, reviews, case reports, and brief communications will be considered for publication.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Roberto Tamburro
Guest Editor
