Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The knee joint is a complex joint that relies on a network of ligaments to provide stability. The knee ligaments play a vital role in maintaining the joint’s integrity. Knee ligament injuries are a common concern, especially in athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for these injuries. Various conservative and operative treatments have been applied for acute and chronic knee ligament injuries, and numerous surgical procedures that consider the nature of these injuries have recently been developed.
In this Special Issue of Medicina, we intend to introduce cutting-edge concepts and techniques, as well as clinical outcomes related to the diagnosis and treatment of knee ligament injuries. For this Special Issue, we would like to invite authors to submit their original research articles, meta-analyses, review articles, technical notes, and case reports regarding the diagnosis and treatment of injuries to the knee ligaments. This Special Issue is open to including all types of articles regarding the diagnosis of knee ligament injuries, physical and radiological examinations, and operative and non-operative treatment for knee ligament injuries. This Special Issue will also include the clinical outcomes of various orthopaedic rehabilitation strategies in the context of knee ligament injuries.
