Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and Research

Dear Colleagues,

The present Special Issue focuses on current surgical options for treatment in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. With constant advances in healthcare and medicine, new treatments have been refined for use in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. These available options, which mostly relate to the surgical or interventional treatment of patients, are generally used in conjunction with or after conservative treatment for various conditions.

We aim to collect studies (original research, reviews, or case reports) of high quality relating to surgical treatment of both reconstructive surgery and orthopaedic trauma. Our purpose is to provide an Issue that will cover surgical treatments in most areas of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology, along with potential complications. Eventually, we aspire to enrich the literature with useful knowledge and facilitate the exchange of that knowledge among the scientific community regarding this topic.
