Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Many news findings and trends in orthopedics, surgery, and rehabilitation affect the personalized treatment of patients. This includes surgical procedures, education, physical therapy, return to sport, and research. Therefore, we want to give an overview of current field trends. Robotic-assisted surgery in degenerative knee surgery, a huge amount of available grafts and additional procedures for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, the role of artificial intelligence, and the huge amount of literature on return to sport testing and rehabilitation are only some examples of relevant fields. Also, activities to improve the reporting and research standards, like measurement quality criteria and study design from pilot studies, clinical trials, reviews, and implementation projects, still show space for improvement and are of interest to the collection. Systematic, scoping, and narrative reviews on the current literature on knee surgery and sports traumatology are strongly recommended.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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 Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background: Robotic-assisted unicompartmental arthroplasty (rUKA) is gradually gaining more popularity than its conventional counterpart (cUKA). Current studies are highly heterogenic in terms of methodology and the reported results; therefore, establishing the optimal recommendation for patients becomes less straightforward. For this reason, this meta-analysis aims to provide an up-to-date evidence-based analysis on current evidence regarding clinical outcomes and complication rates following rUKA and cUKA. Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Five databases were searched, PubMed via MEDLINE, Epistemonikos, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus. The relevant inclusion criteria were as follows: comparative clinical studies in which medial rUKA was compared to medial cUKA (prospective or retrospective designs), (2) human studies, (3) meta-analyses for cross-referencing, and (4) English language. The relevant extracted data were patient demographics, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), range of motion, and complications. A random-effects meta-analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted. The results include mean differences (MDs) and odds ratios (ORs), along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for continuous and binary variables, respectively. Results: rUKA showed a higher overall FJS-12 score compared to cUKA, with MD = 6.02 (95%CI: −0.07 to 12.1), p = 0.05. At 6 months postoperatively, the MD increased to 10.31 (95%CI: 5.14 to 15.49), p < 0.01. At a minimum 36-month follow-up, cUKA had a higher all-cause revision rate, with OR = 3.31 (95%CI: 1.25 to 8.8), p = 0.02, and at a minimum 60-month follow-up, a higher aseptic loosening rate, with OR = 3.86 (95%CI: 1.51 to 9.91), p < 0.01, compared to rUKA. Conclusions: rUKA provides better FJS-12 results compared to cUKA, as well as lower all-cause revision and aseptic loosening rates at 36- and 60-month follow-up, respectively. However, long-term follow-up is still pending. Full article
