Abstract
Informed consent is an essential tool for diagnosis and therapy in medicine, and is of fundamental importance in surgery, where it underpins the operation itself. Its origins can be traced back to US forensic medicine but is now incorporated into the Italian legal system, with different consequences depending on the context in which it is applied. This article describes our experiences in shoulder surgery, with suitable references to legislation and analysis of the literature studies in this area.Mesh:
