This technique offers the possibility to perform incisions with a precision superior to that of any surgeon in the world, based on the connection of preoperative and intraoperative diagnostics. This results in new possibilities to revolutionize the surgical procedure of cataract surgery and to generate new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of cataracts. The combination of keratotomy for correcting astigmatism, intraocular lenses supported by capsulotomy and individually adapted fragmentation patterns is already a component of a personalized cataract surgery.BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint is a common and painful affliction that can be diagnosed using conventional X‑ray imaging as well as arthroscopy and if necessary treated; however, the X‑ray classification often does not sufficiently demonstrate the cartilage damage found in arthroscopy. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of conventional X‑ray imaging compared to arthroscopy for osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint. MATERIAL AND METHODS The preoperative conventional X‑ray images of 23 patients were presented to 10 experienced hand surgeons who were blinded to the arthroscopy results. Their ratings were compared to the results found with arthroscopy. RESULTS Of the patients 11 were found to have grade 4 cartilage lesions according to the Outerbridge classification, 8 grade 3 lesions, 4 grade 2 lesions and no grade 1 lesions. Overall, 43% (95% confidence interval, CI
