Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapidly evolving landscape of spine care demands novel clinical approaches and technological advancements to address persistent challenges in patient outcomes and treatment accessibility. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress in minimally invasive surgical techniques, pathophysiological insights, regenerative therapies, and smart diagnostic tools, alongside breakthroughs in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and wearable monitoring systems. By bringing together interdisciplinary research, we seek to tackle core problems such as enhancing procedural precision, reducing postoperative complications, accelerating recovery times, and personalising care pathways. Contributions may encompass preclinical studies, clinical trials, and reviews that elucidate mechanism-based therapies or validate emerging devices. The scope of this Special Issue extends to novel biomaterials, implants, AI algorithms to enhance treatment accuracy and patient phenotyping, and enhanced rehabilitation platforms. We invite investigators to mobilise their latest findings to foster collaborative innovation, ultimately paving the way for improved quality of life for individuals affected by spinal disorders.
