Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite existing lower extremity problems, this anatomical region has not received special attention in the past. Currently, knowledge in this field is still rapidly expanding, based on anatomy-based research, mediation and interdisciplinary research in diabetic foot and clinical research related to lower extremity pathologies, as well as trauma. In addition, research about public health such as epidemiology of diseases and injuries in this field is expanding. This means that multidisciplinary approaches to lower extremity problems are still being improved by developing entirely new treatments as well as optimizing existing treatments. Interestingly, this progress can be seen in both conservative and surgical treatments and public health aspects such as prevention. We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue entitled “Lower extremity diseases, injuries and public health”. This Special Issue will focus on all emerging research papers related to lower extremity disorders or injuries, clinical studies, and epidemiological and preventive medicine related to public health. We look forward to invite authors to submit reviews or original research that fit this scope.
Dr. Sung Hun Won
