Abstract

Every surgery has indications, which may be absolute or relative. This is what I studied and was taught by my peer, Dr P K Sethi, known more for his association with the Jaipur Foot. However, over the years I have seen a sea change in the exigencies of surgery. The reasons are myriad when I was doing my postgraduation, in the late 1970s; there were very few implants manufactures in India. Implant surgery was not so frequent, or popular. As the industry grew, the need for implants also grew. Of consequence here is that what should have been the other way around, the effect was preceding the cause. Surgeons were not operating more as the indications were growing, but the increasing competition in the implant industry was firing a new form of impetus, namely commissions on the implants.
