Journal of Knee Surgery
Scope & Guideline
Championing advancements in knee surgery and rehabilitation.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) Techniques and Outcomes:
Research related to various surgical techniques for total knee arthroplasty, including traditional, robotic-assisted, and kinematic alignment methods, as well as studies assessing long-term outcomes and survivorship of different implant designs. - Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction:
Exploration of different techniques for ACL reconstruction, including single-bundle versus double-bundle approaches, graft types, and the impact of surgical timing on outcomes. - Meniscus and Cartilage Pathologies:
Studies focusing on the evaluation and management of meniscal injuries, cartilage restoration techniques, and the relationship between knee biomechanics and clinical outcomes. - Infection and Complications in Knee Surgery:
Research on the incidence, risk factors, and management strategies for postoperative infections and complications following knee surgeries, including TKA and ACL reconstruction. - Patient-Reported Outcomes and Rehabilitation:
Investigation into patient-reported outcomes, quality of life, and the effectiveness of rehabilitation protocols post-surgery, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered care. - Biomechanics and Imaging in Knee Surgery:
Research utilizing advanced imaging techniques and biomechanical assessments to improve surgical planning, implant design, and understanding of knee function.
Trending and Emerging
- Robotic-Assisted Surgery:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on robotic-assisted techniques for knee surgeries, showcasing their potential for improved precision, reduced complications, and enhanced patient outcomes. - Patient-Centered Care and Outcomes:
There is a growing emphasis on understanding patient-reported outcomes and the impact of surgical interventions on quality of life, driving research that prioritizes patient experiences and satisfaction. - Innovations in Implant Technology:
Research on new materials and designs for knee implants, including cementless options and custom implants, is trending as surgeons and researchers explore ways to enhance longevity and performance. - Telehealth and Remote Monitoring:
The incorporation of telehealth solutions and wearable technology for monitoring recovery and rehabilitation post-surgery is an emerging area, reflecting a broader trend towards integrating technology in healthcare. - Multimodal Pain Management Strategies:
Studies investigating the efficacy of multimodal analgesic regimens to minimize opioid use and improve postoperative pain control are increasingly featured, aligning with a national push to reduce opioid dependency.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
There appears to be a declining emphasis on traditional surgical techniques in favor of more innovative methods such as robotic-assisted surgeries and personalized instrumentation, reflecting a broader trend toward technology integration in surgical practice. - General Anesthesia and Opioid Use:
Research surrounding general anesthesia protocols and opioid use management has decreased, likely influenced by a shift towards multimodal analgesia and regional anesthesia techniques. - Long-term Outcomes of Older Surgical Techniques:
Studies specifically focused on long-term outcomes of older techniques, such as conventional TKA without advanced imaging or navigation assistance, are less frequently published as the field moves towards more contemporary practices. - Epidemiological Studies of Knee Pathologies:
While still relevant, there is a noticeable reduction in purely epidemiological studies without a direct clinical application or intervention, as the focus shifts towards studies that can inform clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.
