Advances in Orthopedic Problems and Their Treatment in Children

Dear Colleagues,

“A child is not a young adult” is the golden rule for every specialist physician working in the various paediatric orthopaedic fields. From traumatology to oncology, in this population, each pathological condition of the wide orthopaedic spectrum presents specific patho-physiological mechanisms, definite classifications, distinct treatments, and also different outcomes from those presented by the adults. Moreover, various topics do not yet have an international consensus, and new technologies are emerging in the diagnostic and therapeutic processes. This Special Issue focuses on all aspects of advanced and new paediatric orthopaedic surgery and traumatology topics, seeks a precise update, and highlights recent concepts; thus, the central theme of this collection is very wide and interesting. We look forward to receiving your high-quality contributions, including reviews and original papers based on the most advanced knowledge of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology in children.

Dr. Luigi Tarallo
Guest Editor
