About this Research Topic
The mechanical environment of the musculoskeletal system plays a fundamental role in orthopaedic diseases. Understanding the magnitude, pattern, and duration of biomechanical factors and how they impact surgical treatment is an ongoing topic of interest in biomechanics. However, the way forces and stresses acting on the skeletal system affect disease progression and treatment outcomes is not yet fully elucidated. As a result, investigating the biomechanical responses in the incidence and surgical treatment of orthopaedic diseases, such as osteoarthritis, can significantly enhance existing surgical treatment strategies and foster the development of new pharmaceutical interventions.
Our goal is to consolidate groundbreaking studies in this field to advance the understanding of the biomechanical principles underlying disease progression and create a foundation for novel therapeutic strategies.
In light of this, our research topic titled “Biomechanics in orthopaedic diseases and surgery” seeks to delve into the biomechanical regulation in the initiation and surgical treatment of bone and joint diseases. We welcome contributions from researchers on a range of topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:
• The application of biomechanics in the diagnosis and evaluation of orthopaedic diseases;
• Planning and simulation of orthopaedic surgeries;
• The design and optimization of orthopaedic procedures, such as joint arthroplasty;
• The design, optimization, and failure analysis of implants and grafts;
• Biomechanical methods used in the evaluation of postoperative rehabilitation in orthopaedics;
• The mechanism of stress stimulation in injuries, diseases and treatments of osseous tissue;
• The mechanism of degeneration in osseous tissue stimulated under mechanical environment.
