Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Total joint arthroplasty has been described as one of the most important and successful orthopedic interventions for patients with end-stage osteoarthritis of the joint.
The developments in hip and knee arthroplasty in recent years have aimed to improve outcomes, reduce complications, and improve implant survival. This Special Issue aims to summarize some of the most interesting trends and developments in this important and fast-moving field.
Notable developments have included modern ceramic materials, mini hip stems, and the wider use of the dual mobility articulation for hip arthroplasty, respecting the spinopelvic relationship and cementless knee replacement. Advances in additive manufacturing and the surface modification of joint replacements offer increasing options for more challenging arthroplasty cases.
Robotic-assisted surgery is one of the most interesting developments in hip and knee surgery in recent years, concentrating on technologies to improve patient outcomes through strategies to mimic more natural kinematics and optimised implant positioning. The recent growth of the use of this technology is providing data that will help determine whether this approach should become the standard of care for hip and knee arthroplasty in the future.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to present “New Insights into joint Arthroplasty”, concerning several of what we consider are the most significant technological developments with respect to implant design, fixation, and assistive technology in hip and knee arthroplasty.

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. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
