Minimally invasive knee surgery, including arthroscopy and advanced techniques for ligament reconstruction and fracture repair, significantly reduces surgical trauma. These innovative approaches enhance precision and stability for improved patient outcomes in knee joint injury treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Knee joint injuries necessitate advanced treatment strategies.
  • Arthroscopy is a cornerstone for diagnosis and meniscus procedures.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly adopted for knee joint interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the advancements in minimally invasive knee surgery.
  • To highlight improvements in arthroscopic procedures for ligament reconstruction and fracture repair.
  • To discuss the impact of new technologies on surgical trauma and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current arthroscopic techniques for meniscus resection and refixation.
  • Analysis of minimally invasive anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction methods.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of surgical approaches for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries and intra-articular fractures.
  • Evaluation of fixation devices, drill guides, and bone cements in knee surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Arthroscopy provides effective diagnosis and treatment for meniscus injuries.
    • Minimally invasive and mini-open ACL reconstruction yields comparable results with precise graft placement.
    • PCL surgery is evolving similarly to ACL procedures.
    • Reduced surgical trauma is achieved in intra-articular fracture reconstruction via retrograde nailing, percutaneous plating, and arthroscopy/fluoroscopy-guided osteosynthesis.
    • Injectable bone mineral cement further minimizes trauma in tibial plateau fracture treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimally invasive knee surgery has significantly reduced surgical trauma.
    • Technological advancements ensure precise and stable graft placement in ligament reconstructions.
    • The field of minimally invasive knee surgery is poised for rapid development.
