Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there have been significant therapeutic advances in the management of bone fractures, from diagnostic methods to the ongoing optimization of fracture healing, as well as the rehabilitation of patients returning to work. It is the surgeon's responsibility to incorporate new findings and their combination into daily treatment to achieve optimal treatment results.
This Special Issue on “Clinical Therapeutic Advances in Bone Fractures” is dedicated to showcasing innovations in the treatment of bone fractures. These approaches to bone repair include biological methods such as bone morphogenetic proteins or stem cells, as well as orthobiologics like bone substitutes that provide scaffolding for new bone formation and aid in fracture stabilization. Additionally, biomechanical enhancements, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and enhanced rehabilitation protocols can optimize functional recovery and prevent complications such as fracture-related infections, nonunion, and functional deficits. Furthermore, the utilization of molecular diagnostics and technological innovations such as 3D printing for the creation of patient-specific implants and scaffolds allows clinicians to improve the precision and effectiveness of fracture fixation and bone regeneration.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine aims to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of bone fractures, as well as the management of their complications, through scientific recommendations. The goal is to improve daily clinical practice and benefit patients.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
