"Biological Orthopedics" is being ushered in on many different fronts, some very new and others not so new. Increasing attention is focusing on implants needed for shorter periods of time being biologically capable of being absorbed by the body after their work is done. Many of these implants that have traditionally been fabricated from stainless steel are now being manufactured with the same materials as are used in absorbable suture material which continues to benefit from technological advances. Many new absorbable screws and pins to be used about the knee, shoulder, and even in fractures highlight the advances taking place.
Other more long-standing areas of focus and specialization include Arthroscopically-Aided Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction of the Knee as well as more Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.
