Management of Ligaments and Tendons Injuries

Dear Colleagues,

Ligaments and tendons are crucial connective tissues that ensure joint stability and coordinated movement. Injuries to these structures—such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears or rotator cuff tendinopathy—are increasingly prevalent among athletes, physically active individuals, and even the general population due to trauma or repetitive stress.

Managing ligament and tendon injuries remains a clinical challenge, necessitating precise diagnosis, individualized treatment planning, and optimized rehabilitation strategies. This Special Issue aims to present recent advancements and evidence-based approaches across the continuum of care—from innovative diagnostic modalities to novel surgical techniques, biologic therapies, and post-operative rehabilitation.

By uniting perspectives from orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine experts, rehabilitation specialists, and translational researchers, this Special Issue aspires to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and improve the clinical outcomes of patients suffering from these complex musculoskeletal injuries.
