Abstract
In the wiev of the profound and continuous ethical changes tha have occurred in the doctor-patient relation and with special focus on the self-determination of treatment, the authors suggest a methodological approach to the problem of professional responsibility of arthroscopy specialist. In addition, stress is also laid on the professional responsibility in artroscopic treatment, considering deontologic and technical aspects, analysing the matters regarding the definition of the nature of the juridical shop related to this professional performance and estimating its civil implications. The authors discuss this liability, analysing the matters regarding the definition of the nature of the "specialistic error" related to this professional performance. They also, highlight the importance of informed consence, offering hints for discussion on the preliminary information given to the patient in order to acquire a correct consent and to obtain his ivolvement in the decision-making process: the patient conscious of his rights, is always more involved in therapeutic decisions. In addition the authors define the necessary and correct parameters of informations to obtain a valid and complete consent as to justify a specialistic treatement as arthroscopy. Against this backgroud, on the basic aspects taken from medical-legal and specialised literature, they suggest indications for a correct professional practice.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
