Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the great success of our first Special Issue, “Advances in Knee Surgery” (2022), which featured 24 outstanding papers, we are pleased to announce the launch of its second edition, “Advances in Knee Surgery: From Diagnosis to Recovery.” This Issue aims to highlight the most recent innovations and future directions in knee surgery.
In recent years, remarkable progress has been achieved in both surgical techniques and digital technologies, including computer-assisted and robotic systems, artificial intelligence-driven planning, and biologic augmentation. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advances across the full spectrum of knee surgery—from ligament, meniscus, and cartilage repair to osteotomy and arthroplasty—by integrating precision medicine, advanced imaging, and data-driven approaches.
We invite submissions of original research articles and systematic reviews that explore evolving surgical strategies and emerging technologies shaping the future of personalized knee reconstruction.
