Abstract:
Recent years have witnessed an extre mely rapid development in minimally invasive surgery(MIS).It is widely accepted that treatmen t of bone fractures should be shifted from biomechanical fixation to biological fixation in order to gain a minimal invasion and good function al recovery.Minimally invasive tec hniques have been widely applied in clinics,such as procedures assisted by arthr oscope in orthopedics and endoscope in spine surgery,percutaneous treatm ent of the fractures and diseases of l imbs and spines.They have also been enhanced by the computer-assisted s urgical navigation system,surgical simulation system,telepresence c onsul-tation system and robotic remote-co ntrol surgery.Application of MIS in microsurgery has been documented to be able to decrease the notorious donor site morbidity while maintaining th e quality and costs of outcomes.Adva nces in image technique and intervention al radiology have greatly improved minimally invasive methods to be used in orthopedics.MIS has also found new p ossible and potential therapeutic means in such technologies as laser,microwave,cryoablation,ultrason ofocusing,nanotechnology,gene th erapy and tissue engineering.In short,since the scope of MIS will keep on exp anding during the 21st century,it is certain that MIS will see an in-creasingly bright future and become a mainstay in orthopedics.
