Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Orthopaedic trauma care has undergone major advances in recent years, particularly in the management of fragility fractures, complex pelvic and acetabular injuries, postraumatic bone defects, and amputations. Meanwhile, deeper understanding of biomechanics, biology, and implant charachteristics has led to more individualized treatment approaches.
Emerging technologies such as 3D printing, smart implants, artificial intelligence, and computer-assisted planning are further transforming trauma care by enabling personalized solutions for complex injuries. These innovations, combined with progress in bone regeneration and rehabilitation, hold great potential to improve outcomes across the full spectrum of orthopaedic trauma.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine welcomes original research articles and reviews addressing recent developments in orthopaedic trauma care. Submissions may focus on clinical aspects of fracture treatment, bone defect reconstruction, pelvic and acetabular trauma, amputation management, and rehabilitation. Contributions exploring the role of new technologies in surgical decision-making, implant design, and regenerative strategies are of particular interest.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Emmanouil Liodakis
Guest Editor
