Excerpt

Over the last decades, many technological innovations have been introduced in orthopaedic surgery (i.e. computer aided surgery, CASPAR, ROBODOC, hip resurfacing, various ligament reconstruction procedures, new osteotomy techniques, hip arthroscopy, etc.). Whereas some of them rapidly made their way towards general acceptance, many of them silently disappeared after a few years [9].
