Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Total hip arthroplasty remains one of the most successful procedures in orthopedic surgery, providing durable pain relief and functional restoration for patients with degenerative and traumatic hip disorders. Advances in implant design, biomaterials, and fixation strategies have continually refined primary procedures, while evolving surgical approaches are designed to optimize soft tissue preservation, implant positioning, and early functional recovery. Understanding the interplay between implant selection and surgical access is critical in maximizing stability and biomechanics and improving long-term outcomes.
This Special Issue, entitled “Total Hip Arthroplasty: New Perspectives on Primary and Revision Implants”, will provide a comprehensive and contemporary overview of evolving concepts in both primary and revision hip replacement. Particular attention will be given to innovations in primary implants, surgical strategies, and perioperative management, as well as to modern solutions for complex revision cases. Our goal is to highlight current challenges, emerging approaches, and potential directions in hip replacement surgery.
Revision surgery remains particularly demanding, especially in cases involving bone loss, instability, or implant failure. Modular implant systems continue to offer intraoperative flexibility, supporting the restoration of hip biomechanics and functional reconstruction. Similarly, thoughtful implant selection and surgical planning are essential, to optimize outcomes in primary procedures.
We invite the submission of high-quality original articles and comprehensive reviews that offer authoritative insights into current challenges and future directions in hip reconstruction surgery, ultimately supporting evidence-based decision-making and advancing standards of care.
