Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
One of the central challenges faced in musculoskeletal medicine is osteoporosis in an aging population. In addition to fractures of the extremities, spine and pelvis syndrome, also summarized as fragility, is becoming increasingly important in everyday clinical practice. Pain and limited mobility not only lead to a reduced quality of life, but also to increased mortality.
In recent years, an improved understanding of prevention and treatment options has led to remarkable progress. Nevertheless, I am convinced that we have only understood a fraction of this complex issue. Thus, there is an urgent need for new insights into this area of interest.
This Special Issue focuses on a wide breadth of research that provides a better understanding of the pathophysiology, biomechanics, and clinical outcomes of treating osteoporosis-associated injuries and diseases.
This Special Issue aims to gather a variety of knowledge in order to improve the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis-associated fractures. Let us work together to improve our understanding of modern treatment and thus the treatment of our patients in the future.
I am looking forward to receiving many interesting and high-quality research papers in order to contribute significantly to an improvement in the prevention of osteoporosis and its treatment for our patients.
Prof. Dr. René Hartensuer
Guest Editor
