Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

One of the central challenges faced in musculoskeletal medicine is osteoporosis in an aging population. In addition to fractures of the extremities, spine and pelvis syndrome, also summarized as fragility, is becoming increasingly important in everyday clinical practice. Pain and limited mobility not only lead to a reduced quality of life, but also to increased mortality.

In recent years, an improved understanding of prevention and treatment options has led to remarkable progress. Nevertheless, I am convinced that we have only understood a fraction of this complex issue. Thus, there is an urgent need for new insights into this area of interest.

This Special Issue focuses on a wide breadth of research that provides a better understanding of the pathophysiology, biomechanics, and clinical outcomes of treating osteoporosis-associated injuries and diseases. 

This Special Issue aims to gather a variety of knowledge in order to improve the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis-associated fractures. Let us work together to improve our understanding of modern treatment and thus the treatment of our patients in the future.

I am looking forward to receiving many interesting and high-quality research papers in order to contribute significantly to an improvement in the prevention of osteoporosis and its treatment for our patients.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Abstract
Background: We investigated the spinopelvic parameters of lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT) and sacral slope (SS) in patients with fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFPs). We hypothesized that these parameters differ from asymptomatic patients. Methods: All patients treated for [...] Read more.
Background: We investigated the spinopelvic parameters of lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT) and sacral slope (SS) in patients with fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFPs). We hypothesized that these parameters differ from asymptomatic patients. Methods: All patients treated for FFPs in a center of maximal care of the German Spine Society (DWG) between 2017 and 2021 were included. The inclusion criteria were age ≥ 60 years and the availability of a standing lateral radiograph of the spine and pelvis in which the spine from T12 to S1 and both femoral heads were visible. The baseline characteristics and study parameters were calculated and compared with databases of asymptomatic patients. The two-sample t-Test was performed with p < 0.05. Results: The study population (n = 57) consisted of 49 female patients. The mean age was 81.0 years. The mean LL was 47.9°, the mean PT was 29.4°, the mean SS was 34.2° and the mean PI was 64.4°. The mean value of LLI was 0.7. LL, LLI and SS were significantly reduced, and PI and PT were significantly increased compared to asymptomatic patients. Conclusions: The spinopelvic parameters in patients with FFPs differ significantly from asymptomatic patients. In patients with FFPs, LL, LLI and SS are significantly reduced, and PI and PT are significantly increased. The sagittal spinopelvic balance is abnormal in patients with FFPs. Full article
