Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Orthopedic and trauma biomechanics is a rapidly evolving field that integrates principles of mechanics, biology, and medicine to understand and improve the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. This field is crucial for advancing clinical practices, developing innovative medical devices, and enhancing patient outcomes in orthopedics and trauma care.

Key Areas of Focus

  1. Fracture Biomechanics
  2. Implant Biomechanics:
  • Design and Performance: Evaluating the mechanical properties and performance of orthopedic implants, such as joint replacements and fixation devices.
  • Long-Term Outcomes: Studying the durability and effectiveness of implants over time, including wear and loosening mechanisms.
  • Innovative Materials: Exploring new materials and surface treatments to enhance implant integration and longevity.
  1. Computational Modeling:
  • Finite Element Analysis: Using computational models to simulate the mechanical behavior of bones, joints, and implants under various loading conditions.
  • Multi-Body Dynamics: Studying the dynamic interactions between multiple components of the musculoskeletal system.
  • Patient-Specific Models: Creating personalized models to predict treatment outcomes and optimize surgical planning.
  1. Musculoskeletal System Biomechanics:
  • Injury Prevention: Understanding the biomechanical factors contributing to injuries and developing strategies to prevent them.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
