Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Musculoskeletal Diseases and Bone Fracture Risk”. The diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal diseases and fracture risk require a multifaceted approach that combines clinical expertise with advanced technological tools. In this field, the development of new technologies for safer and more accurate diagnoses is paving the way for more precise, effective, and personalized approaches to the management of relevant diseases, ultimately improving patient care and quality of life. The goal is to early detect the target disorders, accurately assessing their severity, and guiding the choice of the most appropriate therapeutic strategies. In light of these considerations, this Special Issue aims to stimulate the exchange of ideas and knowledge on recent advanced tools for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, monitoring, and management of several musculoskeletal diseases. The submission of original contributions containing clinical trials, clinical cases, or state-of-the-art reviews is encouraged by research groups active in the field.
Dr. Paola Pisani
