Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The diversity of pediatric upper extremity pathology is very wide (including congenital, neurological, traumatic, or sporting causes), and the idiosyncrasy of patient management in children and adolescents has very specific particularities. It is essential to have a broad knowledge of the basics of these diseases and their management.
Likewise, their management is in constant evolution thanks to newly implemented therapeutic techniques and to the greater and better evaluation of results, achieving studies of increasing scientific rigor.
Therefore, as an international expert and protagonist of this progress that you are, it would be an honor to have your latest research and reflections on the pathology and therapeutic management of the pediatric upper extremity. All types of articles are welcome, with particular interest for meta-analyses, systematic reviews, clinical trials, cohort studies, or case control studies.
Convinced of the great and excellent scientific and medical-surgical content on the pediatric upper extremity that we will bring together thanks to the collaboration of referents of your stature, this Special Issue will highlight the turning point we are at in how we understand, approach, and evaluate the pathology of the pediatric upper extremities in children and adolescents.
