Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sports injury has recently become an important specialty within orthopaedic and rehabilitation medicine. This field focuses on physical fitness, as well as the prevention and treatment of various injuries related to sports and exercise. Sports medicine specialists come from a broad range of professional backgrounds. Despite their diverse expertise, all share a common goal—to prevent future injuries and improve functional recovery—enabling patients to return to daily life and pre-injury levels of sports activity. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are essential in sports injuries. In recent years, a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and protocols for musculoskeletal sports-related injuries have been introduced, demonstrating satisfactory clinical outcomes. In this Special Issue of Diagnostics, we aim to highlight cutting-edge concepts, techniques, and clinical results related to the diagnosis and treatment of various sports-related injuries and disorders. We invite authors to submit original research articles, meta-analyses, review articles, technical notes, and case reports focusing on diagnostic and therapeutic advances in sports injuries. Additionally, this Special Issue will explore newly developed strategies, including the application of artificial intelligence (AI), in the diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries.
