Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to participate in this Special Issue of JCM on “Clinical Research on Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery.” As you are aware, there are many potential advantages to minimally invasive spine surgery when compared to traditional open spine surgery.
Although minimally invasive spine surgery is frequently utilized for degenerative disease of the spine, and we welcome submissions regarding this topic, we are also eager to learn more about the role of minimally invasive spine surgery in spinal trauma, spinal oncology, pathological fractures, and even infectious processes. If you have clinical data or research regarding the use of minimally invasive spine surgery regarding any of these topics please consider sharing your findings and insight with your colleagues.
We look forward to receiving your submissions to this Special Issue.
Cordially,
Dr. Daniel K. Fahim
Guest Editor
