Orthopaedic Diseases and Innovative Intervention Strategies, 2nd Volume

Dear Colleagues,

Innovations in technology and bioengineering are crucial in modern surgery. In particular, the continuous evolution of surgical techniques and assisted navigation systems has profoundly changed approaches to orthopaedic surgery. In addition, minimally invasive surgery, computer-assisted systems, virtual reality, and augmented and mixed reality now represent valuable and effective options for surgeons. The development of bioengineering has led to new coating materials for prostheses, ensuring more long enduring implants. All of these technological innovations are improving operating times as well as patient outcomes. In addition, the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques has resulted in continuous improvements in patient outcomes, including decreasing operating times, hospitalisations, rehabilitation, and post-surgical pain. These advantages have led to an increase in the number of operations, thus reducing hospital waiting lists. The development of new techniques and instruments for minimally invasive surgery is necessary to improve the quality of orthopaedic surgery, significantly in influencing healthcare costs. Therefore, scientific and technological progress in orthopaedics is essential for ensuring the best possible patient care. This Topic aims to provide the latest scientific evidence regarding the most innovative intervention strategies currently available in all fields of orthopaedic surgery.
