Special Issue on Bone Fractures and Complications

Sustainable Ecosystem Management refers to the practice of managing natural ecosystems in a way that maintains their health, resilience, and biodiversity while supporting the needs of human populations. It involves balancing ecological, social, and economic factors to ensure that ecosystems continue to provide essential services—such as clean air, water, and food—without depleting the resources they depend on. This approach focuses on long-term sustainability, using adaptive management strategies that respond to changes in environmental conditions and human activities. Sustainable ecosystem management seeks to protect and restore ecosystems, reduce negative impacts from human activities, and promote practices that contribute to both ecological integrity and the well-being of local communities.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Bone Fractures and Complications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

General Terms

• Bone fracture
• Fracture healing
• Skeletal trauma
• Orthopedic injury
• Bone repair

Types of Fractures

• Open fracture
• Closed fracture
• Comminuted fracture
• Stress fracture
• Pathological fracture

Fracture Healing Process

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Bone Fractures and Complications” should be selected during your submission.
