Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The practice of orthopedics is constantly evolving. In the U.S., over a million total joint arthroplasties are performed annually, with 540,000+ total hip arthroplasties and 790,000 total knee arthroplasties. In addition, over 400,000 spinal fusion surgeries are performed annually, with over 340,000 interbody fusions. A host of advances and prospects are constantly underway, which, in the field of spinal surgery, include the use of motion-preserving procedures (cervical disc arthroplasty, lumbar disc arthroplasty, laminoplasty), biologics to increase spinal fusion rates and delay/prevent degenerative disc disease, novel methods to prevent proximal junctional kyphosis/failure, and robotics/computer navigation. Within joint arthroplasty, new trends are growing in the United States, including continued growth in the anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty, robotic navigation, cementless total knee arthroplasty, and decreased rates of patellar resurfacing. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the latest advances and prospects in all fields of orthopedic surgery.
