Rediscovering the history of orthopedics

History is difficult to digest, particularly for physicians like
us who are constantly pressed to deliver results, always
committed to the everyday medical practice, and required
to keep up to date with the most recent research. It is not
surprising, then, that in recent years there has been a
shortage of historical insight into indexed journals: where
can we find the time to read papers not dealing with the
progress of research or the latest updates in surgical procedures?
Therefore, why care about finding space to publish
manuscripts with different prerogatives?
