Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sports medicine, orthopedics and, particularly, rehabilitation are rapidly growing disciplines in Veterinary Medicine, but there is still a lack in terms of knowledge for vigorous clinical research confirming what is often used in this specific field.
This Special Issue in Veterinary Sciences journal, entitled Veterinary Sports Medicine and Advances in Orthopedics: from diagnosis to rehabilitation, will publish original articles, clinical studies, brief communications, case reports, case series, and reviews on the latest studies on sports medicine and orthopedics in canine and equine patients.
It will encompass all aspects of sports medicine: preclinical and clinical research, as well as clinical approaches, diagnostic imaging, conservative and surgical treatments and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, which can occur in working and athletic dogs and horses.
Based on your expertise in this field, we suppose that you can effectively contribute to the success of this initiative. We also hope that this collection will stimulate closer collaboration between researchers in veterinary and medical sciences in order to increase the essential scientific growth between human and veterinary medicine.
