Abstract:
Minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopic, endoscopic and,arthroscopic surgery are currently being used throughout the world. The field of total hip arthroplasty has over 40 years of experience, and minimally invasive total hip arthtoplasty was introduced to reduce the perioperative morbidities. The advocates for minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty will point out the advantages of reduced pain and early ambulation after the operation because of the minimal soft tissue injury. However, we have to review the advantages and disadvantages of minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty to prevent anyharmful effects of this procedure for the patients who under go it.
