Advances in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

Dear Colleagues,

Total hip and knee arthroplasty is a cornerstone of orthopaedic surgery, with advancements in surgical techniques, implant materials, and patient care leading to improved outcomes and quality of life for patients. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in total hip and knee arthroplasty, including minimally invasive approaches, robotic-assisted surgery, and the use of patient-specific implants. The role of preoperative planning, the integration of total hip and knee arthroplasty with other orthopaedic procedures, and the challenges and opportunities in postoperative care, including pain management and rehabilitation, are also of interest.

We invite submissions that focus on the following topics:

• Minimally invasive total hip and knee arthroplasty techniques and their impact on patient outcomes;
• Robotic-assisted total hip and knee arthroplasty and its advantages over traditional methods;
• Advances in implant materials and coatings for improved durability and biocompatibility;
• Preoperative planning and patient-specific implants in total hip and knee arthroplasty;
• Integration of total hip and knee arthroplasty with other orthopaedic procedures;
• Postoperative care, including pain management, rehabilitation, and the use of assistive devices to facilitate recovery.

This Special Issue aims to provide insights into the mentioned aspects of total hip and knee arthroplasty, with an emphasis on new developments in surgical techniques and patient care leading to increased survival with improved quality of life.
