Abstract
Over the past 50 years orthopedic surgery and traumatology have been divided into different sectors. Scientific societies, specific journals, books, sub-speciality research groups, congresses and courses, as well as teaching centers have been organized. Sport traumatology must be supported by a complex set of knowledge obtained by applying scientific methodology in order to gain a precise description of reality; we call this “Science.” As Galileo Galilei said “Science separates what we know from what we do not know.”
