Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue “Clinical Advances in Spine Disorders—2nd Edition”, building upon the success of the first edition.
Clinical advances and surgical techniques for the treatment of spine disorders have been effective in minimizing invasiveness and reducing complications. However, there is always a need for improvements in patient outcomes based on new insights and the latest developments in lumbar spine surgery. In this Special Issue of Journal of Clinical Medicine, we are interested in providing a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the development of conservative treatments and surgical techniques, with a focus on minimally invasive surgery and the use of robotics and navigation systems.
We invite authors to submit papers to this Special Issue focusing on the newest clinical advances in spine disorders. We hope that this Special Issue will reignite interest in the currently unsolved challenges encountered in spine surgery.
