Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue represents a deep dive into the field of total joint arthroplasty, offering a detailed exploration of complex management strategies and new perspectives for the future. This collection covers a wide range of topics, from the analysis of hip and knee replacements to the latest innovations in the field. These articles shed a clear light on the ongoing evolution of joint arthroplasty, revealing challenges faced in areas like implant materials, infection prevention, and long-term outcomes for patients undergoing these procedures.
We encourage the submission of original basic, translational, and clinical research, and review articles on the following topics related to total joint arthroplasty of the hip, knee, and shoulder:
- Robotic and technology-assisted joint replacement.
- Periprosthetic joint infection—prevention, diagnosis, and therapeutics.
- Biomaterials and implant design.
- Tissue engineering.
- Muscle strengthening and conditioning.
- Implant designs.
- Edema and pain.
We look forward to your contributions.
