Minimally invasive knee surgery:
Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical procedure that uses specialized techniques and instruments to perform interventions with smaller incisions than those used in traditional surgery. The main goal of this approach is to reduce trauma to the surrounding tissues, thereby decreasing recovery time and the risks associated with surgery.
In the specific context of the knee, minimally invasive surgery is an advanced option for treating a variety of conditions, including meniscal, ligament, and cartilage injuries, joint fractures, and even some degenerative changes. In this type of procedure, surgeons use arthroscopic techniques, which involve the insertion of a small optical device known as an arthroscope through a small incision in the skin. This allows them to visualize the inside of the knee joint in real-time without the need for large incisions.
During a minimally invasive knee surgery, surgeons can perform a variety of procedures, such as repairing (suturing or reattaching) menisci, reconstructing cruciate ligaments, or treating articular cartilage injuries, using incisions that are much smaller than those used in traditional surgery. This allows for a reduction in hospital stay (some procedures can even be performed in an outpatient setting), as well as decreased postoperative discomfort and faster recovery for the patient.
Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive knee surgery generally offers a quicker recovery time and a lower rate of postoperative complications. Thus, when compared to traditional surgery, patients undergoing a minimally invasive intervention typically return to normal activities more quickly, usually within weeks.
It is important to emphasize that the choice between traditional and minimally invasive surgery should be made based on an individual assessment, taking into account the severity of the condition, the overall health status, and each patient’s preferences. Consulting a specialized orthopedic surgeon is essential to determine the best approach for each case.
