Review
The utility of nanotechnology in medicine, specifically within the field of orthopedics, is a topic of extensive research. Our review provides a unique comprehensive overview of the current and potential future uses of nanotechnology with respect to orthopedic sub-specialties. Nanotechnology offers an immense assortment of novel applications, most notably the use of nanomaterials as scaffolds to induce a more favorable interaction between orthopedic implants and native bone. Nanotechnology has the capability to revolutionize the diagnostics and treatment of orthopedic surgery, however the long-term health effects of nanomaterials are poorly understood and extensive research is needed regarding clinical safety.

Review
As more patients live longer, it is probable that an increasing number of geriatric patients will require surgery. An organized, systematic, coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to the perioperative management of these patients will result in fewer complications, improved outcomes, and reduced cost of care. Details are herein provided on the preoperative diagnostic evaluation and assessment as well as perioperative care provided to optimize outcomes. The diagnosis, workup, and treatment of osteoporosis and fragility fractures are presented. The article concludes with a review of the care of the geriatric orthopedic patient in the posthospital time period.

With the increase of superspecialisation, there has been a recent trend for a rising number of operations for both trauma and orthopaedic ailments. This flies against the results of properly planned, well performed, adequately powered, with clinically relevant outcome measures and long enough follow-up level I studies which challenge the received wisdom that surgery is actually superior to conservative management or even supervised neglect. This editorial outlines some of these issues, and suggests that orthopaedic and trauma surgeons should actually think twice before operating on anything that comes our way.
