Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advances in recent years have brought knee phenotyping, laxity profiling, robotic-assisted surgery, modern alignment strategies, and ongoing developments in custom-made arthroplasty to the forefront of what is now considered personalized arthroplasty.
The current Special Issue aims to advance the concept of personalized arthroplasty by supporting authors in publishing current and beyond current concepts in the field.
Special focus will be dedicated to concepts related to robotic-assisted surgery, hip and knee phenotyping, laxity profiling of the knee, and technical aspects related to personalization in all its current variants.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews, and advanced technical notes dedicated to personalization are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Robotic-assisted hip and knee arthroplasty
- Custom-made arthroplasty
- 3D and 4D planning
- Modern alignment strategies for hip and knee arthroplasty
- Difficult primaries treated with personalized approaches
- Gait analyses of the native, osteoarthritic, and implanted joint, as well as gait-based planning concepts for total joint arthroplasty
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. George Mihai Avram
Guest Editor
