Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sports medicine, which has become an important specialty in orthopaedic and rehabilitation medicine in recent years, deals with physical fitness and the preventive care and treatment of various injuries in the field of sports and exercise. Sports medicine specialists include individuals in a broad range of professions. The goal of all sports medicine specialists is to prevent future injuries and to improve the function of injured areas to enable patients to return to their everyday lives and pre-injury levels of sports activities. Accurate diagnoses and corresponding treatment are essential in the field of sports medicine. Recently, various diagnosis and treatment techniques and protocols for musculoskeletal sports-related injuries have been introduced, with satisfactory clinical outcomes. In this Special Issue of Diagnostics, we intend to highlight cutting edge concepts and techniques, as well as clinical outcomes related to the diagnosis and treatment of various sports-related injuries and disorders. We would like to invite authors to submit their original research articles, meta-analyses, review articles, technical notes, and case reports regarding diagnosis and treatment in sports medicine. This Special Issue will also explore newly developed strategies such as AI technology for the diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries.
Dr. Ki-Mo Jang
