Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to address clinical and basic studies of foot and ankle. In terms of scope, this publication will cover a very wide range of topics including trauma, degenerative or inflammatory diseases, non-operative treatment, rehabilitation, reconstructive surgery, minimal invasive procedure, biomechanics, bioengineering, and the application of artificial intelligence or more topics, in order to provide the reader with a broad update in this field.
Foot and ankle disorders impact patient quality of life, causing significant financial burdens to the patient and their family. Unfortunately, have no previously received special attention. The outcomes for pathology in this region are still improving, both due to the optimization of existing treatments and the development of completely new ones. These pathologies require a sound approach clinically and basically in order to achieve the best outcomes. Currently, knowledge in this field based on basic, machine learning, translational, and clinical research is still speedily expanding. Various professional figures can therefore contribute to this Special Issue: orthopedists, traumatologists, podiatrists, physiatrists and physiotherapists, sports doctors, athletic trainers, and anyone capable of deepening one of the countless aspects of this challenge. Authors are invited to submit both original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Dr. Shun-Ping Wang
