Minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery offers reduced operative time and blood loss compared to open surgery. Safety and functional outcomes are comparable, making it an effective alternative for selected patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques
  • Comparative Effectiveness

Background:

  • Minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery aims to decrease surgical trauma and improve patient recovery.
  • Conventional open surgery remains a standard approach across various orthopaedic subspecialties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and meta-analyze the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery versus open surgery.
  • To compare perioperative, functional, and safety outcomes between the two surgical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search for comparative clinical studies.
  • Screening based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines.
  • Quantitative synthesis using mean differences and risk ratios; heterogeneity assessed with I² statistic.

Main Results:

  • Minimally invasive techniques showed significantly reduced operative time and blood loss.
  • Comparable complication rates (infection, revision surgery) between minimally invasive and open surgery.
  • Similar functional and patient-reported outcomes at final follow-up for both approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery enhances perioperative efficiency.
  • It maintains safety and functional outcomes equivalent to open surgery.
  • Supports its use as a viable alternative in appropriate clinical scenarios.
