Core Tip	This paper highlights some major orthopaedic research advances at a basic science level. On top of that, it is highlighted that the perception of orthopaedic conditions has fundamentally changed recently, reflecting on clinical practice. We also described the basic aspects of a successful in vitro infection laboratory experiment and expanded on recent evidence relating to molecular biology, ex vivo investigations, and artificial intelligence in orthopaedics.
