Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue titled “Clinical Perspectives on Foot and Ankle Surgery”, which aims to compile the latest advancements in surgical techniques within this field.
Foot and ankle surgery is still evolving. Many procedures that were once performed through open surgery are now being conducted using minimally invasive techniques such as arthroscopy, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound. Additionally, numerous companies are introducing innovative devices for foot and ankle surgery.
We invite authors to contribute original articles and reviews on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Minimally invasive surgery using arthroscopy, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, etc.
- Hallux valgus, hammer toe, metatarsalgia, hallux rigidus, hallux sesamoid disorders, symptomatic accessory navicular, plantar fasciitis, flatfoot, insertional Achilles tendinopathy, and osteoarthritis of the ankle.
Dr. Kenichiro Nakajima
Guest Editor
