Orthopedics and the Musculoskeletal System: Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Mechanisms

Dear Colleagues,

Orthopedics and the musculoskeletal system are critical aspects of human health and mobility. Over the years, significant strides have been made in understanding the complexities of musculoskeletal disorders, injuries and their treatments. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements spanning the spectrum of diagnosis, prognosis and mechanisms of orthopedics and the musculoskeletal system.

This Special Issue provides an excellent opportunity for researchers and clinicians to share their latest findings and innovations in orthopedics and the musculoskeletal system.  We aim to advance the field and ultimately improve patient outcomes by bridging the gap between basic research and clinical applications.

Scope of the Special Issue:

We invite researchers, clinicians and scientists to contribute original research articles, reviews and perspectives focusing on, but not limited to, the following topics:

Muscle Biology and Rehabilitation: This section provides insights into muscle physiology, injury and repair mechanisms.

Orthopedic Biomechanics: Advancements in understanding joint mechanics, biomechanical modeling and computational simulations for orthopedic applications.

Orthopedic Imaging and Diagnostics: Cutting-edge imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, electrophysiological studies and nuclear medicine, to diagnose and monitor musculoskeletal conditions.

Orthopedic Trauma and Fracture Healing: Advances in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying fracture healing and strategies to enhance bone regeneration.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
