Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fractures are common skeletal injuries that consist of the interruption of bone and, more rarely, cartilaginous tissue, resulting in disability.
For optimal healing and restoration of function, a correct diagnostic framework and related treatment approach are essential.
This Special Issue aims to gather scientific evidence about fracture classification, diagnosis, complications, and treatment from prevention to surgery and functional recovery.
