Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Knee surgery has evolved significantly with advances in surgical techniques, implant designs, and patient-specific treatment approaches. This Special Issue, "Recent Advances and Future Prospects in Knee Surgery," aims to showcase cutting-edge research and clinical innovations in the field of knee surgery, including total knee arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, ligament reconstruction, meniscal repair, cartilage restoration procedures, osteotomy, and fracture management around the knee.
We invite original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that address novel surgical techniques, biomechanical studies, implant innovations, rehabilitation protocols, and clinical outcomes in knee surgery. Submissions exploring emerging technologies such as computer-assisted navigation, robotic surgery, personalized implant design, and advanced imaging modalities are particularly encouraged. Additionally, studies investigating patient-reported outcomes and complications management will be valuable contributions.
This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for orthopedic surgeons, researchers, and clinicians to share their latest findings and contribute to advancing the field of knee surgery. We welcome submissions that bridge the gap between basic science research and clinical practice, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
Dr. Jun-young Chung
