We can do more than ever for patients. There is the real possibility we can cure osteoarthritis in the next decade or two. The knee and hip implants are better than ever. The advances on the cellular and molecular level are astounding (was nonexistent or just starting when I was a resident 15 years ago). But why are we so frustrated with practicing medicine? Insurance and patient's demands, I suspect. It is a strange time in orthopaedics. We can do more than ever for patients.
