Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the introduction of the first functional hip implants by Sir John Charnley in the 1960s, arthroplasty has evolved into one of the most successful surgeries of our time. Tremendous research effort has contributed, above all, to progress in material research, biomechanical, and technical understanding as well as to growing insight in biological processes in the cross-talk between implant and patient.
Nevertheless, we are still confronted with unsolved problems such as periprosthetic infections, approach-related damage of periarticular musculature, instability of artificial joints, neglect of spino-pelvic interplay by traditional systems, and the biological burden of foreign material debris.
This Special Issue will focus on recent innovations, which are promoting the field of hip and knee arthroplasty and are addressing these unsolved problems. The aim is to update the reader on different aspects of modern arthroplasty.
Dr. Tobias Winkler
Guest Editor
