Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are performing a lot of total knee arthroplasty in the last stage of degenerative arthritis. As the lifespan of humans gradually increases, the number of patients suffering from degenerative knee arthritis is expanding, and eventually, the number of patients undergoing artificial knee arthroplasty surgery is increasing. In performing such artificial knee arthroplasty, as patients become older, managing it becomes very important.
This profound and ongoing change is not just about advancing surgical techniques or artificial joint substitutions, but also about integrating them across all fields. Clinicians and researchers are now supporting various philosophies of component alignment and knee prosthesis biomechanics. This philosophy recognizes the uniqueness of each joint and supports a customized approach tailored to individual patients. Our ultimate goal is to improve the lifespan and functionality of arthroplasty, improve each patient's health-related quality of life, and achieve a sense of normalcy in the operated knee.
I would like to summarize the overall management of arthroplasty, which helps one overcome pain, swelling, and motor disorders caused by arthritis, leads one’s daily life, and maintains one’s health.
Topics to explore include:
- Overall patient care in knee joint replacement;
- Attention and development directions in surgery in knee joint replacement;
- Clinical attention and management directions in knee joint replacement;
- Defining the limits and disclosing future challenges.
We invite you all to be part of the most basic journey of this orthopedic surgery. Together, let us explore the front lines of knee arthroplasty to redefine the landscape of this field and improve the lives of patients.
Prof. Dr. Sang-Hoon Park
