Minimally Invasive Orthopaedic Surgery

摘要

Minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery for the treatment of joint and bone problems, especially fractures, can rely on smaller skin incisions, reduced dissection of muscles, improved visibility with endoscopy and fluoroscopy, application of special instruments and robotic assistance, or some combination these. However, caution is prudent for the less experienced; successful minimally invasive surgery relies on the surgeon having considerable training and experience, and an intimate knowledge of the surgical anatomy.
