Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in molecular biology, implant design, biomaterials, and intraoperative technology have transformed partial and total joint arthroplasty of the hip, knee, and shoulder in the last several decades. Previously common modes of failure, including premature wear, instability, loosening, and component malposition, have been dramatically reduced as translation has been made from the laboratory bench and software models to clinical practice. As progress accelerates in the realm of orthopedic bioengineering, our specialty should remain at the forefront of these emerging trends and to readily integrate them into clinical practice.
This Special Issue of Bioengineering, entitled “Total Joint Arthroplasty: Technical Developments and Applications”, focuses on emerging data and strategies from engineers, scientists, and surgeons alike. We encourage the submission of original basic, translational, and clinical research and review articles on the following topics related to total joint arthroplasty of the hip, knee, and shoulder:
- Robotic and technology-assisted joint replacement;
- Periprosthetic joint infection—prevention, diagnosis, and therapeutics;
- Virtual and augmented reality platforms;
- Preoperative planning and templating;
- Biomaterials and implant design;
- Tribology and implant survivorship modeling;
- Tissue engineering.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
