Minimally Invasive Surgery in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Analysis of Clinical Results and Practical Implications

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the clinical results and practical implications of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of MIS-THA compared to traditional open surgery, focusing on postoperative pain, functional improvement, complications, and patient satisfaction. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 20 patients who underwent MIS-THA. The results showed significant improvements in postoperative pain levels and functional outcomes among patients who underwent MIS-THA. The MIS approach demonstrated reduced tissue trauma, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Complication rates were also found to be lower in the MIS-THA group. Additionally, patient satisfaction scores were higher in the MIS-THA group, highlighting the positive impact of this technique on patient experience. The findings of this study support the use of MIS in THA as a viable alternative to traditional open surgery. The benefits of MIS include reduced postoperative pain, improved functional outcomes, shorter hospitalization, and enhanced patient satisfaction. These results have important implications for clinical practice, as MIS-THA can contribute to improved patient outcomes and cost-effective healthcare delivery.
