Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled "Total Joint Arthroplasty: Innovations, Outcomes, and Challenges—Second Edition". In the first edition, we published 13 papers. For more details, please visit the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/4794JEXS10.
In recent years, the domain of arthroplasty has witnessed significant advancements, particularly in the area of knee and hip replacements, thereby revolutionizing joint replacement surgeries and improving quality of life for numerous patients suffering from joint degeneration and damage. The field of endoprosthetics is constantly evolving and improving. In particular, new developments in the areas of material research, biomechanics, and surgical approaches, as well as perioperative management and pre- and postoperative patient support, have substantially improved treatment outcomes and patients’ quality of life, in accordance with the demographic change.
With this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the latest advancements in endoprosthetics, as well as the experiences and insights of both patients and medical professionals.
Dr. Hendrik Kohlhof
