Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This forthcoming journal issue on “Cutting Edge Research on Total Knee Arthroplasty” will spotlight the latest advances in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of surgical innovation and personalized patient care. Contributions will explore state-of-the-art techniques, including robotic-assisted and computer-navigated TKA, novel implant designs, and alignment strategies tailored to individual anatomy. Special attention will be given to enhanced recovery protocols, digital health integration, and long-term functional outcomes. The issue will encompass diverse themes such as the role of robotic and computer-assisted surgery in improving precision and outcomes, the comparison of kinematic and mechanical alignment strategies, and the optimization of perioperative pain management within enhanced recovery pathways. It will further highlight advances in patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction metrics, the integration of artificial intelligence and predictive analytics in surgical planning, strategies for ensuring long-term survivorship and revision surgery, as well as global perspectives on access. This issue aims to define future standards in TKA, ensuring better durability, functionality, and patient satisfaction across diverse populations.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. 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.
