Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Osteoporotic fractures, particularly pelvic, periprosthetic and proximal femoral fractures, present intricate healthcare burdens globally. This issue delves into the latest advancements and novel approaches in managing these fractures and non-operative supportive therapies, including osteoporosis treatment. We encourage submissions showcasing innovative diagnostic techniques, surgical interventions, rehabilitation strategies and pharmaceutical approaches aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life. As Guest Editors, we aim to cultivate a deep understanding of the multifaceted aspects surrounding osteoporotic fractures, providing a platform for insightful discussions and evidence-based research. Your invaluable contributions will play a pivotal role in shaping the future landscape of osteoporotic fracture management. We eagerly anticipate your insights.
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Osteoporotic Fractures of the Pelvis, Hip and Femur: Current Challenges and New Perspectives (2nd Edition)”. This is a new volume; we published 10 papers in the first volume. For more details, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/YK4ECV8R72.
