Hip and Knee Surgery: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites contributions that reflect contemporary surgical practice involving the hip and knee. While a central focus remains on total hip replacement and total knee replacement, we also welcome submissions addressing other procedures. Topics of interest include osteotomies, cartilage repair, multi-ligament reconstruction, revision strategies and outcomes, management of periprosthetic fractures, and treatment of early-onset degenerative conditions. Studies investigating surgical approaches, perioperative protocols, imaging-based planning, and patient-specific instrumentation are encouraged. We are particularly interested in work that passes or combines technical innovation with meaningful clinical outcomes. This Special Issue seeks to capture both established practices and emerging techniques in hip and knee surgery. We welcome original research, clinical series, comparative trials, case reports, and systematic reviews that enhance understanding of current standards, complications, and future directions in joint-preserving and joint-replacing procedures alike.
