Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past two decades, primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgeries have achieved impressive success rates. However, it is essential to acknowledge that a significant number of patients do not fully benefit from these procedures.
In response, the field has seen remarkable innovations designed to enhance outcomes and patient satisfaction. Advances such as enhanced preoperative planning technologies, robot-assisted surgery, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), custom-made/personalized implants, and the integration of mixed/augmented reality and artificial intelligence (AI) during surgery are being developed to reduce failure rates and improve clinical outcomes.
Despite these promising innovations, the greatest challenge remains: none of these advancements have consistently demonstrated a significant improvement in patient satisfaction or reduced failure rates.
In light of these challenges, our Special Issue will focus on the most prevalent trends in primary and revision hip and knee replacements, evaluating future solutions and the impact of recent technological advancements.
We invite you to contribute an original article as well as a review paper to our Special Issue.
Best regards,
Dr. Matteo Innocenti
Prof. Dr. Roberto Civinini
