Given your significant contributions and expertise in the field of hip arthroplasty and related orthopedic research, we invite you to submit articles and reviews on these topics.
This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research and expert insights addressing the following:
- Recent trends in THA indications, techniques, and technologies;
- Innovative implant designs and long-term survivorship;
- Perioperative optimization, enhanced recovery protocols, and complication prevention;
- Revision THA and management of complex cases;
- Patient-reported outcomes and value-based care models;
- Future directions including digital surgery, robotics, navigation, and AI integration.
Thank you for considering this invitation. We look forward to including your valuable work in this Special Issue.
