Research focusing on individualized treatment plans based on patient-specific anatomical and functional characteristics, particularly in total knee arthroplasty. - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:
Increasing applications of AI and machine learning in predicting outcomes, improving surgical techniques, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy in knee-related conditions. - Minimally Invasive Techniques:
A growing emphasis on less invasive surgical approaches that reduce recovery times and improve patient outcomes, such as arthroscopic procedures and robotic-assisted surgeries. - Postoperative Rehabilitation Protocols:
Enhanced focus on rehabilitation strategies that optimize recovery and functional outcomes after knee surgeries, including the use of technology for monitoring progress. - Long-Term Outcomes and Survivorship:
Studies investigating the long-term effectiveness of various knee interventions, particularly regarding implant longevity and patient satisfaction over extended follow-up periods.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
There is a shift towards more innovative and less invasive techniques, causing traditional methods to receive less emphasis in recent studies. - General Orthopaedic Topics:
The journal is increasingly specializing in knee-specific research, leading to a decrease in the publication of broader orthopaedic topics that do not focus on the knee. - Invasive Procedures without Biologics:
As regenerative medicine gains traction, studies focusing solely on invasive surgical techniques without incorporating biologic adjuncts are becoming less common.
