Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Diagnostics publishes high-quality articles, in all areas of medical science and related disciplines after peer review and acceptance with a fast process. Diagnostics is an open access journal with an Impact Factor of 3.992 (2022 Journal Citation Reports). Diagnostics is going to open a Special Issue entitled “Clinical Diagnosis of Joints and Ligamentous Injury”. This Special Issue is going to publish original research articles focusing on research in joints and ligaments written by orthopaedic surgeons, musculoskeletal radiologists, rheumatologists, or musculoskeletal anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in joint trauma or pathology. We are interested in joint and ligaments injuries research on clinical and surgical consideration, surgical reconstruction, or biomechanics considerations. Particular attention is going to be given to high-quality illustrations, which are very important for understanding clinical problems. We are looking for relevant manuscripts for joint and ligaments injuries clinical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation. If possible, I would appreciate receiving your submission by 31 May 2023.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges to the global healthcare system and emerging evidence suggests a potential link between COVID-19 treatment, specifically steroid therapy, and the development of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent studies and case reports investigating the relationship between COVID-19, corticosteroid therapy, and the development of AVN. Understanding the nuances of AVN in the context of COVID-19 is crucial for healthcare professionals to navigate treatment decisions and mitigate potential complications. Materials and Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and a Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) were used in the systematic review until 1 September 2023. The full texts of the remaining twenty-three (n = 23) articles were independently reviewed by the authors of this review. Conclusions: The association between steroid therapy for COVID-19 and the development of hip AVN is a noteworthy concern even though no relationship is evident between the duration of treatment, cumulative dosage of medication, maximum daily dosage received, and presence of AVN. Further research with larger cohorts and long-term follow up is needed to better understand the causative relationship and optimal management strategies for hip AVN in the context of COVID-19 and steroid therapy.

Hip pain is indubitably a frequent clinical problem deriving from copious etiologies. Hip impingement syndromes are one of the most prevalent causes of persistent groin pain, especially in young and active patients. Diligent imaging of the hip region is indispensable to discern femoroacetabular impingement, as the differential diagnosis of hip pain can be exceedingly arduous. Despite hip radiography being plain and broadly attainable, it offers narrow information concerning soft tissue pathologies around the hip joint (extra-articular hip impingement syndromes). Magnetic resonance imaging and arthrography remain the gold standard examination for detecting intra-articular pathologies; however, they are widely considered expensive, time-consuming and characterized by confined. Consequently, ultrasonography has emerged as an alternative valuable diagnostic tool for distinguishing the underlying abnormalities that trigger femoroacetabular impingement. Proper hip ultrasound examination provides dynamic assessment, while also beneficial for guided intervention around the hip joint. Ultrasound hip examination is exacting due to its complex regional anatomy and deep location. It is capable of providing detailed information about various hip quadrants. An adept operator can identify both intra-articular and extra-articular pathologies. In addition, with ultrasonography, hip injections have been rendered relatively undemanding, aiding in therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. This paper aims to provide a succinct and compendious review of the existing literature, accentuating the crucial role of ultrasonography in diagnosing hip impingement syndromes and determining whether an additional examination is required regarding distinguishing between intra-articular and extra-articular syndromes.
