Joint Prostheses: Innovations in Shoulder, Hip, and Knee Replacement

Dear Colleagues,

Joint replacement procedures have evolved significantly in recent years, with advances in implant design, surgical techniques, navigation, and biomaterials contributing to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. As the demand for shoulder, hip, and knee arthroplasty grows globally, continuous innovation is essential to address challenges related to longevity, function, and revision surgery.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent innovations in joint prostheses for the shoulder, hip, and knee, focusing on technologies, materials, surgical strategies, and clinical outcomes. The goal is to bring together contributions that advance our understanding of prosthetic reconstruction and align with the interdisciplinary scope of Prosthesis.

Suggest themes.

Implant design and fixation in joint replacement

Prosthetic innovations in shoulder, hip, and knee arthroplasty

Robotic and computer-assisted joint replacement

Patient-specific and 3D-printed prostheses

Personalized approaches and data-driven surgical planning

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Mihai Lazar Mioc
