Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue.
Medicine, like many scientific disciplines, is evolving rapidly. Orthopedics is a standout field in this respect, due to its close association with cutting-edge technology. This area has recently undergonesignificant development for two main reasons. Firstly, as people are living longer, there is a growing need for orthopedic surgeries that address issues related to bones, joints, and muscles. This increase in demand correlates with the aging population's desire to remain active and healthy in their later years. Secondly, more and more individuals are participating in sports and exercise, a trend driven by widespread interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This surge in physical activity has further fueled the relevance of orthopedics.
Crucially, the scope of orthopedic knowledge has expanded beyond the confines of surgery. Orthopedic knowledge is now essential for professionals involved in sports (such as physical therapists) and those in fields like rehabilitation medicine and pain management. These practitioners must stay up to date on evolving diagnostic techniques and treatments in orthopedics to provide the best care for their patients, ranging from those with sports injuries to those dealing with age-related musculoskeletal issues.
Therefore, the aim of the Special Issue is to provide cutting-edge knowledge of diagnosis and management in the field of orthopedics, both of which have seen significant recent development. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Thank you！
Dr. Du-Han Kim
