Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to present the Special Issue titled “Precision Orthopedics: Evolving Shoulder, Hip, and Knee Surgery Through Intelligent Technology and Personalized Clinical Care”. Procedures involving the shoulder, hip, and knee represent some of the most common orthopedic surgeries performed globally, affecting a significant number of patients each year. The increasing prevalence of joint conditions, such as arthritis, traumatic injuries, tendon and ligament issues, and joint instability, underscores the critical need for tailored surgical approaches that address the specific requirements of each patient.
This Special Issue welcomes original research, in-depth literature reviews, and practical clinical perspectives highlighting recent developments in orthopedic surgery. Key areas explored include advanced surgical strategies combined with innovative technologies like robotic surgery to enhance precision, 3D printing for improved surgical planning, artificial intelligence for refined clinical decision-making, and wearable smart sensors to optimize rehabilitation and patient monitoring.
We sincerely thank all contributing authors and reviewers for their invaluable efforts. We hope that this Special Issue will foster further collaboration and progress, ultimately leading to improved patient care and surgical outcomes in orthopedics worldwide.
Dr. Alessandra Berton
Guest Editor
