The European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology is focused on publishing high-quality, clinically relevant orthopedic research from around the world.
Spinal surgery continues to evolve rapidly, shaped by innovation, collaboration, and a shared commitment to improving patients’ outcomes worldwide. This special collection, Global Spine Perspectives: Quality, Innovation, and Collaboration welcome submissions from colleagues across the world that reflect the full breadth of spinal care - operative and non-operative, clinical and translational. The collection is inclusive by design, encouraging contributions from all those involved in spinal care, including surgeons, researchers, trainees, and members of multidisciplinary teams. This collection particularly value studies that demonstrate rigorous methodology, reproducible results, and meaningful collaboration across specialties and regions. Submissions are invited on all aspects of spinal practice, including deformity, degenerative disease, trauma, infection, tumor, motion preservation, and peri-operative optimisation. All manuscripts will undergo thorough peer reviewing processes to ensure scientific quality, transparency, and fairness. Accepted articles will be published alongside other high-quality articles providing international visibility, lasting academic impact and a ready compendium of leading thoughts on the subject matter for experts. Aligned with the European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology’s mission to promote excellence through collaboration, this collection offers an international platform for clinicians, scientists, and allied professionals to share knowledge, innovation, and experience. By uniting diverse expertise and perspectives within a single forum, the collection aims to advance evidence-based spinal care and contribute to a shared goal - improving the quality, safety, and accessibility of spine care for patients worldwide.

Dr Fawi is a UK board-certified orthopaedic spinal surgeon, academic researcher, and medical editor whose work bridges clinical practice, research, and publication. He serves as Deputy Editor (Spine) for the European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology (EJOST), a role underpinned by over a decade of engagement in orthopaedic research and peer review for international journals. Dr Fawi completed his orthopaedic residency training through the Cambridge programme before undertaking subspecialty fellowship training in spinal surgery across major UK centres. His clinical interests include spinal deformity and complex reconstruction in both paediatric and adult patients, approached through an evidence-based and multidisciplinary framework. A former SICOT Research Fellow, Dr Fawi is a PhD candidate at Imperial College London, where his research focuses on surgical site infection (SSI) prevention, antimicrobial resistance, and the use of big-data analytics to enhance peri-operative outcomes. Supported by peer-reviewed research funding, his academic work centres on infection prevention, quality improvement, and outcomes in spinal surgery. He has published and presented internationally and contributes actively to postgraduate education and trainee development. His leadership style combines precision, empathy, and a forward-thinking approach to shared health challenges. As Guest Editor for Global Spine Perspectives: Quality, Innovation, and Collaboration, Dr Fawi invites contributions from across the multidisciplinary spine community - including surgeons, researchers, and allied professionals - to foster global collaboration and improve outcomes for patients worldwide.
