Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to delve into the new topic of personalized medicine applied to orthopedic surgery, especially arthroplasty and orthobiology.
Personalized, or precision, medicine is an emerging branch of the medicine. Its scope is to provide prevention and treatment strategies based on specific phenotypes and genotypes characteristics. It could be seen as an evolution of medicine, which offers the possibility to offer the most effective and safe treatment for our patients.
In particular, research areas will include the following:
- Personalized medicine and orthopedic surgery;
- How personalized medicine can be applied to prosthetic surgery;
- “Custom-made” prosthesis in primary and revision implants;
- How personalized medicine has changed orthopedic surgery in recent years;
- Precision-medicine approach applied to orthobiology and joint replacements;
- Personalized medicine and tissue regeneration in orthopedics and orthoplastic.
Both original research and systematic reviews are welcome.
