Acute Trauma and Trauma Care in Orthopedics: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

We sincerely invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Acute Trauma and Trauma Care in Orthopedics: 2nd Edition". The first edition is available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/470IL9R42Q. This Special Issue combines original research and review papers with a focus on the recent advances in orthopedic and trauma surgery.

Orthopaedic and trauma surgery are clinically challenging and mainly deal with injuries and related diseases of the musculoskeletal system, which may be caused by trauma, accidents, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors and congenital diseases. We have witnessed the development of all aspects of orthopaedics, including the use of invasive surgical, non-invasive and non-surgical methods to correct and treat diseases, and trauma care requires rapid implementation through multidisciplinary collaboration. Early emergency treatment, accurate diagnosis (such as imaging examinations), judgment of injury severity (such as AO grading) and targeted treatment (including external fixation, internal fixation or minimally invasive techniques) are crucial. At the same time, attention should be paid to perioperative management, pain control, rehabilitation training and psychological support to maximize the restoration of patient function and reduce disability.

We welcome the submissions of your best research to update the latest progress in the field.
