Objective:
To evaluate the effect of minimally invasive techniques (MITs) on the treatment outcomes and postoperative complications (POCs) of patients with orthopedic trauma.
Methods:
A total of 103 patients with orthopedic trauma were retrospectively selected and allocated to a control (receiving traditional surgery) and an observation group (receiving MITs). Inter-group comparisons were performed regarding therapeutic efficacy, operation-related indices, postoperative recovery, Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) scores, modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, as well as POCs. Multivariate analysis was conducted to identify independent factors associated with therapeutic efficacy.
Results:
The observation group demonstrated statistically superior overall therapeutic efficacy and operation-related indices compared with the control group, with lower incidence of POCs. Additionally, patients in the observation group exhibited a greater increase in MBI scores and more significant reductions in SMFA scores at 1 month postoperatively. The VAS scores in the observation group also decreased greatly on postoperative, compared with the control group. Disease duration, VAS, and treatment mode were identified as independent predictors of therapeutic efficacy in patients with orthopedic trauma.
Conclusion:
Compared with conventional surgery, MITs provide superior clinical efficacy and reduce the incidence of POCs in the management of orthopedic trauma.
