Abstract

|
Minimally invasive surgery is commonly used in a range of orthopedic fields with many surgeons employing minimally invasive techniques for total hip arthroplasty. Some surgeons, however, have recently suggested that the term ‘mini-incision’ is more correct than ‘minimally invasive’. Many studies have reported the increased malposition of implants and complications, such as dislocations and nerve injury, in minimally invasive surgery due to the compromised visualization of the surgical field. Patient selection with the proper indications is of utmost importance for the success of minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty. In addition, selection of the correct surgical technique is essential. Furthermore, the procedure should be performed by an experienced surgeon with the appropriate surgical instruments.
