The management of skeletal metastatic disease has attracted increasing attention during the past decade. In orthopaedic practice there is an increased demand for reconstructive surgery for both pathological fractures and in the management of paraplegia from ...

Robots have been used in surgery since the late 1980s. Orthopaedic surgery began to incorporate robotic technology in 1992, with the introduction of ROBODOC, for the planning and performance of total hip replacement. The use of robotic systems has subsequently increased, with promising short-term radiological outcomes when compared with traditional orthopaedic procedures. Robotic systems can be...

Pediatric orthopaedic surgeons commonly interact with PM&R specialists as part of the rehabilitation team. This invited communication is intended to present the residency and fellowship education requirements for a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon and give a review of current work-force issues. Pediatric orthopaedic and PM&R collaboration may be in an acute setting, e.g., post injury or post surge...

OBJECTIVE The Orthopaedic Error Index for hospitals aims to provide the first national assessment of the relative safety of provision of orthopaedic surgery. DESIGN Cross-sectional study (retrospective analysis of records in a database). SETTING The National Reporting and Learning System is the largest national repository of patient-safety incidents in the world with over eight million erro...

The use of computer navigation in orthopedic surgery allows for real time intraoperative feedback resulting in higher precision of bone cuts, better alignment of implants and extremities, easier fracture reductions, less radiation and better documentation than what is possible in classical orthopaedic procedures. There is no need for direct and repeated visualization of many anatomical landmark...
