Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The outcomes of surgical interventions that address joint injury and degradation continue to improve, in no small part aided by novel surgical technologies, refined surgical techniques, and enhanced prosthesis designs. We also cannot overlook advancements in tools that enable us to evaluate joint biomechanics and new implant designs, as these provide important pre-clinical evidence and closed-loop feedback to guide further developments. This Special Issue showcases recent advances in the tools and techniques utilized for evaluating joint biomechanics and implants, and the novel findings that have been obtained using such techniques.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel experimental, computational and imaging tools for assessing joint biomechanics and/or implant design;
- New paradigms in the pre-clinical evaluation of surgical techniques and/or implant designs;
- New insights on surgical interventions and/or implant designs related to joint biomechanics;
- Musculoskeletal models for understanding joint biomechanics and factors influencing their accuracy;
- Design/optimization/failure analysis of implants/grafts.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
