New Insights into Children’s Orthopedic Health

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to collaborate on our Special Issue in pediatric orthopedics.

Pediatric orthopedics is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal problems in children, from newborns to adolescents. Treating orthopedic conditions in children presents unique challenges that distinguish it from adult orthopedic care.

Children are more susceptible to certain conditions that adults rarely face, such as congenital deformities, developmental dysplasia, and growth plate injuries. These conditions require specialized knowledge and techniques for early diagnosis and intervention, which are critical in preventing long-term disabilities and ensuring normal development

Treatment in pediatric orthopedics often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals, including pediatricians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation specialists, is essential to provide comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of a child's development and recovery.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue “New Insights into Children’s Orthopedic”. We believe that your knowledge, experience, and passion can significantly enrich our publication and contribute to the development of this crucial field of medicine.

Our journal aims to promote the latest research, innovative treatment methods, and best practices in pediatric orthopedics. With your contributions, we aspire to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, supporting doctors, researchers, and medical students worldwide.

We encourage the submission of scientific articles, reviews, case studies, and other works on children’s orthopedic health, especially related to the following:

• New surgical techniques in pediatric orthopedics;
• Diagnostic tools;
• Spine deformities;
• Congenital deformities of upper and lower limbs;
• Deformities of the foot;
• Pediatric trauma and treatment of long-term consequences of injuries;
• Neuro-orthopedic.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
