Abstract
The objective of this editorial is to present Prosthesis as the main reference point for all researchers involved in biomedical device and prosthesis investigations. Material science and the development of new technologies in the field of regenerative medicine signaled a meeting point between medicine and engineering towards the next generation of prosthetic devices. The aim of the journal is to favor studies and the diffusion of new technologies in the field of rehabilitation medicine. Journal topics will cover everything related to the rehabilitation in humans or animals through the application of new device as well as new advanced surgical techniques and materials.
Highlights
The production of customized prosthetic devices has seen a large increase in the last few years
The American Civil War created a high number of amputations, forcing Americans to enter the field of prosthetics as government policy
The First World War did not favor the advancement of prosthetic development
Summary
The production of customized prosthetic devices has seen a large increase in the last few years. “Prosthesis” is a simple word, closely related to human progress and development. The history of the word is well known from ancient Egyptian and Hellenic cultures, and it is related to military medicine and the first war in which doctors or surgeons tried to replace arms, hands, or portions of the body lost in battle or conflict, or from degenerative diseases [1,2].
