Abstract
The treatment of patients with musculoskeletal disease will be revolutionized during the next two decades by advances in technology. Orthopaedic surgeons are eager to incorporate new technology into their practices to improve patient outcomes and practice efficiency. However, as the orthopaedic community embraces new technology and innovative surgical procedures, there is an increased need to consider issues of patient safety and to determine the best way to incorporate technology into our practices.
