Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Personalized medicine is revolutionizing the landscape of orthopedics and traumatology by offering patient-specific approaches that optimize diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. This paradigm shift integrates genetic, biomolecular, biomechanical, and clinical data to tailor interventions to individual needs, thereby improving outcomes and reducing complications. In orthopedics and trauma care, where variability in patient anatomy, injury mechanisms, and healing responses is significant, the potential of personalized strategies is especially promising.
This Special Issue explores the latest advancements, technologies, and methodologies driving personalized care in musculoskeletal health. It covers areas such as patient-specific implants and surgical planning, AI-driven diagnostic tools, biomarker-guided therapies, regenerative medicine, and precision rehabilitation. Despite this progress, challenges remain, including data integration, ethical concerns, cost-effectiveness, and implementation in routine clinical practice.
We invite original research, reviews, and case studies that highlight innovative solutions and critical evaluations of the current state of personalized medicine in orthopedics and traumatology. This Special Issue aims to foster a deeper understanding of how personalized care can be effectively translated into improved patient outcomes by bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives.
