LETTER FROM THE GUEST EDITOR

Abstract

Metabolic Bone Diseases cover more than one third of Orthopaedic Pathology. In Greece, the education and training of Orthopaedic Surgeons in Metabolic Bone Diseases is advanced due to the existence of relative Scientific Societies, Journals, Laboratories dedicated to this special field, as we will refer in detail in the next Introductive – historical article.

My distinguished friend, Professor Nikos Papaioannou, Chief Editor of the Journal, kindly asked me to organize the publication of two consecutive special issues dedicated to Metabolic Bone Diseases. Most of the publications are reviews and the authors present the latest developments on topics related to Metabolic Bone Disorders.

I hope that the readers will find these issues quite interesting wishing that we covered most of the hot and current topics of Bone Metabolism Diseases.
