Abstract

Orthopaedic surgery is a complex field and orthopaedic surgeons are highly trained professionals who are able to assess and diagnose musculoskeletal problems and perform advanced surgical procedures. The field of orthopaedic surgery has expanded exponentially with the development of many subspecialties and therefore surgeons constantly need to learn and develop new skills and techniques. There has been a strong movement towards less invasive techniques with the objective of addressing clinical problems with less morbidity and shorter recovery times. A strong driver is improved health economics and patient satisfaction.
