Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled “Targeted Diagnosis and Treatment of Shoulder and Elbow Disease: 2nd Edition”. This is the second edition; we published nine papers in the first. For more details, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/L5BUF7U0OF.
Shoulder and elbow diseases include a wide range of conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and tissues around the shoulder and elbow. Some common examples of shoulder and elbow diseases include rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and bursitis. Shoulder and elbow disease can cause pain and joint dysfunction that affect daily activities. The pain and disability associated with shoulder and elbow pain can have a large impact on individuals and their families, communities, and healthcare systems, affecting daily functioning and the ability to work. The diagnosis and treatment of these conditions require specialized medical attention, including personalized care that considers the patient's unique needs. Orthopedic specialists use advanced techniques to accurately diagnose the underlying issues and develop customized treatment plans that may include pain management and surgical procedures. The ultimate goal is to enable improved function and reduced pain in patients suffering from shoulder and elbow disease. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in achieving this. An individual rehabilitation plan must follow international guidelines and requires a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team, including expert physiotherapists and physiatrists in shoulder and elbow pathologies and their rehabilitation, to enable its full operation.
The primary topics of this Special Issue include diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitative relapses in shoulder and elbow disease. We look forward to your participation in this Special Issue, which will provide a platform for sharing knowledge with the scientific community, with the ultimate goal of positively influencing the treatment and care of patients.
