Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Diagnostic Approach and Treatment of Orthopedic Disease in Dogs and Cats: Second Edition”.
Orthopedic disorders in dogs and cats are common and cover a wide range of conditions. Orthopedic surgery consists of invasive and minimally invasive (arthroscopy) surgical procedures that affect the joints and skeletal system, including the spine, soft tissues, muscles, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Advanced imaging and diagnostic tools help to provide accurate and effective orthopedic diagnoses, as well as being useful in following-up pathologies post-treatment. There is a wide range of orthopedic conditions that affect cats and dogs. The most common orthopedic conditions are hip and elbow dysplasia, cruciate ligament rupture, patellar luxation, intervertebral disc disease, and the correction of angular deformities.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, such as clinical trials, prospective or retrospective studies, and case reports, as well as reviews, are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Francesco Macrì
