About this Research Topic
The goal of this topic is to present innovation and new perspectives in hip arthroscopy and arthroplasty surgery, with special focus on artificial intelligence. We hope to learn about new technologies employed in surgical technique, joint function analysis, and radiographic analysis. We also aim to collect new evidence regarding surgical technique, complication management, prognosis, rehabilitation, and patient education.
Original research and reviews are recommended. Other types of articles, including case-reports and correspondence are acceptable.
We welcome high-quality articles on the following subjects of, but not limited to:
1) Clinical study investigating the use of artificial intelligence, robots, navigation and patient-specific instrument in joint surgery;
2) The application and development of artificial intelligence in early diagnosis and prognosis analysis, especially for DDH, ONFH, hip dysplasia, and FAI;
3) New concepts in surgical technique, complication and function evaluation in hip arthroscopy, periacetabular osteotomy, and arthroplasty;
4) Navigation and preoperative planning for DDH and FAI;
5) Pre-operative planning and surgical treatment in complex THA cases such as Crowe type III and Crowe type IV DDH;
6) Use of AI in the diagnosis and management of chondral lesion;
7) New technologies and concepts in arthroscopy and osteotomy for hip preservation.
