title: Progress in orthopaedic surgery: the 1980s in review.
abstract: These are exciting times. Rapid progress has been made in all orthopaedic subspecialty areas over the past decade. The next decade promises to be one of even greater technologic triumph. With each successful development, new attendant problems and questions arise. Careful long-term, follow-up studies and continued scientific scrutiny always temper the intoxicating promise of innovation with the sobriety of scientific realism. But perhaps this is where the ongoing pleasure and challenge of orthopaedics lie.
