Health Service Interventions in Musculoskeletal Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Musculoskeletal disorders represent a substantial burden on global health, necessitating innovative strategies in both surgical and non-surgical interventions. With advancements in orthopedic surgery and conservative treatments, there is a critical need to evaluate and share knowledge on effective healthcare practices in this domain. This Special Issue aims to collate cutting-edge research, providing a comprehensive view of current health service interventions in orthopedics.

We seek to explore various facets of musculoskeletal diseases, focusing on surgical treatments, conservative approaches, and overall healthcare strategies in orthopedic surgery. This Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, inviting contributions from clinicians, surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals. By encompassing a wide array of topics, we strive to enhance the understanding and application of effective interventions in the field.

We welcome submissions across a variety of formats including original research, review articles, case studies, and clinical trials. Potential themes include but are not limited to: innovations in orthopedic surgical techniques, effectiveness of conservative treatments, healthcare policies affecting orthopedic practices, and comprehensive management strategies for musculoskeletal diseases. By disseminating knowledge across these themes, this Special Issue aims to contribute significantly to the evolution of health services in orthopedic surgery.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
