Abstract

Following the technical improvements and gaining surgical expertise, many musculoskeletal conditions are treated by highly sophisticated surgical methods aiming to restore or reconstruct the damaged anatomical structure. In the recent years there is a clear tendency for the definite solutions for even previously conservative treated conditions, e.g. small and partial tears of the shoulder rotator cuff tears are repaired, not highly symptomatic ACL tears are reconstructed, moderately symptomatic knee osteoarthritis is treated by an endoprosthetic arthroplasty etc. This clinical approach gains a high support both from surgeons and patients, because the technical ability for such surgeries is continuously improving and become readily available.
