Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, titled “New Advances in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.”
Total hip and knee arthroplasty are among the most frequently performed and highly effective orthopedic procedures worldwide. As the global population continues to age and the demand for joint replacement grows, advancements in surgical techniques, implant technology, and perioperative management are more important than ever.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent innovations, clinical outcomes, and evidence-based practices in hip and knee arthroplasty. In alignment with the Journal of Clinical Medicine's scope, we welcome submissions that explore robotic-assisted surgery, perioperative care, management of complications, and strategies for revision arthroplasty. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews will be considered.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Robotics and computer-assisted surgery;
- Perioperative optimization and enhanced recovery;
- Infection prevention and revision strategies;
- Functional outcomes and patient satisfaction;
- Long-term implant survival.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Jun-Dong Chang
Guest Editor
