egulation in the HACCP system applied on the problems of production of
Dalmatian prosciutto. Further on, this paper will provide analysis of all the
steps of the technological process of producing Dalmatian prosciutto. This
paper is an attempt at the integration of several dimensions of this issue:
ecological, health, food production and the issue of preservation of traditional
ways of food production. Considering the imperative of integration
of these perspectives, we have come closer to the area of bioethical discussions,
especially because the problem of food production is an important
bioethical issue.

ASPECTS OF MEDICAL ETHICS
IN ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY
Orthopaedic surgeons face many ethical issues during their clinical
practice. In this paper, the following principles of medical ethics in orthopaedic
surgery are presented: physician–patient relationship, confidentiality,
informed consent, conflicts of interest, medical errors and responsibility,
etc.
The physician–patient relationship has a contractual basis on confidentiality,
trust and honesty. Both the patient and the orthopaedic surgeon are
free to enter or discontinue the relationship within any existing constraints
of a contract with a third party. An orthopaedic surgeon has the obligation
to render care only for the conditions that he or she is competent to treat.
Orthopaedic surgery cases are presented to illustrate the manner that
ethical issues are typically addressed.
The importance of understanding and awareness of ethical issues by
orthopaedic surgeons is emphasized. These studies and their successful
application by orthopaedic surgery doctors would raise the quality of the
health care in Albania.
