Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the field of orthopedics, surgical techniques and tools are advancing at a remarkable pace. Through various innovative approaches and technologies, we continuously strive to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes for our patients. In particular, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), and robotic-assisted surgery have already been widely adopted in clinical practice. Additionally, experimental methods—such as utilizing magnetic fields to guide chondrocytes to cartilage lesions—are actively being developed. Through this Special Issue, we hope to provide a comprehensive overview of current advancements in knee surgery and to examine the developmental stages of various emerging technologies that may shape the future of this field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: The purpose was to compare clinical and radiologic outcomes in patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the medial stabilizing technique (MST) for severe varus knee with either measured resection technique (MRT) or gap balance technique (GBT). Methods: Between February 2018 and August 2020, a total of 236 knees with an HKA angle greater than 15° were enrolled in this study. Propensity score matching (1:1) was done based on age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and preoperative hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle. 67 knees were enrolled in MRT (group M) and GBT (group G), respectively. The mean follow-up duration was 76.2 and 72 months in Groups M and G. Clinical and radiologic outcomes, including hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, joint line distance, and femoral component rotation angle (FCRA), were compared between the groups. Results: Preoperative clinical and radiological measurements had shown no statistical significance between both groups. The postoperative radiologic measurements, including HKA angle, joint line distance, and FCRA, were not significantly different. Postoperative WOMAC index, KSKS, and KSFS were also not significantly different between both groups. Conclusions: In patients with severe varus deformity undergoing TKA with MST, clinical and radiographic outcomes—including limb alignment, joint line position, and femoral component rotation—were comparable between MRT and GBT on mid-term follow-up data.
