Abstract
Before starting to read this book the reader should know what it is going to explore. Nowadays, in the orthopedic world osteoarthritis, prosthesis, mini-invasive surgery, tissue-saving surgery, small implants, etc. are “hot” topics approached from a multitude of perspectives, which ultimately run the risk of becoming repetitive [1–4]
