Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for a Special Issue entitled “Current Measures for Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Outcome Assessment in Orthopedics, Traumatology, and Hand Surgery” to be published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.

The field of orthopaedics, traumatology, and hand surgery continually evolves with advancements in diagnostic tools, monitoring techniques, and outcome assessment measures. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and innovations in orthopedics, traumatology, and hand surgery, specifically focusing on developing and applying advanced diagnostic, monitoring, and outcome assessment measures.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Novel diagnostic tools and techniques;
• Innovations in diagnostic measures;
• Objective monitoring tools;
• Patient-reported outcomes and quality of life measures;
• Advanced monitoring technologies in orthopedics, traumatology, and hand surgery;
• Outcome assessment methods and criteria;
• Integrative approaches for comprehensive patient evaluation;
• Technological advancements, including robotics, computer-assisted surgery, 3D printing, and personalized implants;
• Challenges and solutions in implementing measures.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and believe that this Special Issue will significantly contribute to advancing knowledge in orthopedics, traumatology, and hand surgery.
