Aim & Scope
The aim of SVOA Orthopaedics journal is to serve as a leading platform for the publication of high-quality scientific research, clinical advancements, and innovations in the field of orthopaedics and orthopaedic surgery. The journal aims to disseminate knowledge, promote evidence-based practices, and contribute to the advancement of orthopaedic care. It seeks to engage orthopaedic surgeons, researchers, medical professionals, and allied healthcare practitioners involved in the management of musculoskeletal disorders.
The journal covers a broad range of topics within the field of orthopaedics and orthopaedic surgery, including but not limited to:
Orthopaedic Trauma: Research focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of traumatic injuries to the musculoskeletal system. This includes studies on fracture management, soft tissue injuries, polytrauma, acute orthopaedic care, and surgical techniques for trauma patients.
Joint Replacement Surgery: Research related to joint replacement procedures, including total hip replacement, total knee replacement, shoulder replacement, and other joint arthroplasties. This encompasses studies on implant design, surgical techniques, outcomes, complications, and long-term follow-up of joint replacement surgeries.
Sports Medicine: Research focused on the management of sports-related injuries and conditions, including studies on arthroscopic surgery, ligament reconstruction, cartilage repair, tendon injuries, and sports rehabilitation. This includes investigations into optimal surgical techniques, postoperative rehabilitation protocols, and return-to-play guidelines.
Pediatric Orthopaedics: Research related to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal conditions in children and adolescents. This includes studies on pediatric orthopaedic disorders, developmental abnormalities, growth plate injuries, congenital anomalies, and pediatric orthopaedic surgical techniques.
Spine Surgery: Research focused on disorders and treatments of the spine, including degenerative spine conditions, spinal deformities, spinal trauma, spinal tumors, and spinal fusion surgeries. This encompasses studies on surgical techniques, instrumentation, minimally invasive approaches, and outcomes in spine surgery.
Musculoskeletal Oncology: Research related to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal tumors and sarcomas. This includes studies on limb-salvage surgeries, surgical oncology techniques, adjuvant therapies, and long-term functional outcomes in patients with musculoskeletal tumors.
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation: Research focused on rehabilitation strategies, physical therapy modalities, and postoperative rehabilitation protocols for orthopaedic conditions. This includes studies on musculoskeletal rehabilitation, exercise therapy, gait analysis, orthotics, and assistive devices.
