Abstract:
For orthopaedic care of patients to continue to improve, new approaches, especially minimally invasive spinal technique, must be continually developed.To verify this technique actually provides improved outcomes, these approachs must be subjected to rigorous scientific study. However, because outcomes of clinical interventions only can be studied in human subjects, this practice must not only meet scientific criteria. it also must meet strict ethical criteria. The author analysised the state of minimally invasive spinal technique in china and foreign countries, and illustrated ethical problems and countermeasure on playing of minimally invasive technique into spinal practice.
