Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the third edition of this Special Issue, dedicated to showcasing innovations in the treatment of traumatized patients. These include new approaches and the application of the latest intraoperative technology. Many of these innovations are based on the findings of translational clinical research, for example, in the field of biomechanics.
The first volume of this series published 17 impactful papers (available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/EF6ECZ130F). The second volume is now complete with 12 accepted articles, with additional papers still in the final stages of processing (see https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/PF24BL4V92).
In recent decades, significant progress has been made in the field of orthopedics and traumatology as a result of scientific research findings, although the context has continued to change. Road safety has led to a decrease in high-energy trauma following major trauma, while the number of elderly patients with low-energy trauma continues to increase. It is the task of the surgeon to treat this broad spectrum of complex patients in the best possible way using all appropriate resources.
Therefore, this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine targets multifactorial improvements in trauma and orthopedic surgery with the goal of improving daily clinical practice through scientific recommendations for the benefit of our patients.
Prof. Dr. Christian von Rüden
