Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to collaborate on our Special Issue in pediatric orthopedics.

Pediatric orthopedics is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal problems in children, from newborns to adolescents. Treating orthopedic conditions in children presents unique challenges that distinguish it from adult orthopedic care.

Children are more susceptible to certain conditions that adults rarely face, such as congenital deformities, developmental dysplasia, and growth plate injuries. These conditions require specialized knowledge and techniques for early diagnosis and intervention, which are critical in preventing long-term disabilities and ensuring normal development

Treatment in pediatric orthopedics often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals, including pediatricians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation specialists, is essential to provide comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of a child's development and recovery.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue “New Insights into Children’s Orthopedic Health”. We believe that your knowledge, experience, and passion can significantly enrich our publication and contribute to the development of this crucial field of medicine.

Our journal aims to promote the latest research, innovative treatment methods, and best practices in pediatric orthopedics. With your contributions, we aspire to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, supporting doctors, researchers, and medical students worldwide.

We encourage the submission of scientific articles, reviews, case studies, and other works on children’s orthopedic health, especially related to the following:

  • New surgical techniques in pediatric orthopedics;
  • Diagnostic tools;
  • Spine deformities;
  • Congenital deformities of upper and lower limbs;
  • Deformities of the foot;
  • Pediatric trauma and treatment of long-term consequences of injuries;
  • Neuro-orthopedic.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Background/Objectives: Idiopathic clubfoot is a complex pediatric foot deformity. The Ponseti technique is widely regarded as the standard for correcting deformities, and treatment compliance is essential for preventing relapse. Examining psychosocial effects on parents and/or children during clubfoot treatment provides valuable insights for improving compliance. This scoping review will map the existing literature on the psychological and social effects experienced by parents and/or children with idiopathic clubfoot. It also aims to examine the assessment tools used to measure these impacts and identify factors influencing treatment compliance. Methods: This review will adhere to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines for scoping reviews. The search will include databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO and focus on studies published in the last 10 years. This review will include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies that investigate the psychological and social effects experienced by parents or affected children of any age with idiopathic clubfoot. Reporting will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) extension guidelines. The screening and data extraction process will involve two independent reviewers. The analysis will be descriptive and qualitative. Results: The findings will be presented in tables and a narrative summary. Conclusion: This review may guide health practitioners in developing evidence-based interventions to improve treatment adherence. Full article
