Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Orthopedic Surgery is changing quickly with new Techniques, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence. Disease entities remain as traumatic and degenerative conditions that require repair or reconstruction. Economically challenged societies are increasingly adopting modern implants and diagnostic tools, while also developing low-cost and low-tech solutions to address their own complex problems. The battle between individual technical expertise and modern technology to solve problems rages on. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews are obsolete due to Artificial Intelligence and platforms like Chat GPT, Open Evidence, and other sources that can provide reliable up-to-date information in seconds without reading journal articles. This special edition will focus on new strategies and techniques, low and high-cost, reliable and relevant outcome measures, "outreach" to underserved communities and countries, and "inreach" to our own local underprivileged or underserved populations for orthopedic care.
