Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hip and knee replacement surgeries are nowdays widely accepted as safe and effective procedures in relief pain and restore function for millions of patients around the world. In the last few decades, the scientific community has made many efforts to reduce the invasivity of the surgery, to increase the survival of the implants and to improve the precision in the placement of the prosthetic components.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect scientific reports in cutting-edge research in the field of hip and knee prosthetic surgery, such as novel surgical approaches, mini-invasive surgery, patient-specific instrumentation systems, new solutions for increasing joint stability, kinematic alignment, robotic surgery, etc.
In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit research articles, meta-analyses and literature reviews on the clinical advances of hip and knee replacement surgery, in terms of both diagnosis and treatment, for elective, developmental and trauma deseases.
