Special Issue Information
Over the last decade, veterinary orthopedics has markedly developed. Advanced methods are more frequently used for the diagnosis of diseases of the osteoarticular system (CT, MRI, arthroscopy). This allows for a better definition of the problem and a more precise setting of therapeutic protocols. Orthopedic surgery has also evolved both in the field of fracture management, with the use of angular stable implants, and in joint surgery field. Today TPLO, TTA, and other tibial osteotomies are considered the gold standard treatments for cranial cruciate ligament rupture, whilst total joint replacement represents the state-of-the-art technique for DJD. Moreover, arthroscopy is increasingly playing a role in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous joint pathologies. Corrective osteotomies are used more often for the treatment of limb deformities and specific pathologies (e.g., patellar luxation) and innovative materials are progressively proposed for the reconstruction of tendons and ligaments.
The aim of this Special Issue is to reflect the experimental and clinical aspects of orthopedics and traumatology in dogs and cats. Particular attention will be given to fracture treatment, limb deformity, corrective osteotomy, joint luxation, tendon and ligament failure, congenital disorders, degenerative disease, and surgical techniques and their outcomes.
We invite submission of original research, reviews, case reports, and brief communications.
