MIS(minimally invasive solution)による人工膝単顆関節置換術の経験

抄録

Minimally invasive solution (MIS) is a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty technique via a small incision without patellar eversion. Eleven unicompartmental knee arthroplasties have been performed by MIS since February 2001 in our hospital. We reviewed the surgical results by comparing them with 10 joints performed by the conventional method with patella eversion. We evaluated length of hospital stay, blood loss, operative time, degree of post operative pain, range of motion, and radiographic measurement of each patient. There were no significant differences in all subjects. MIS technique can, however, archieve rapid recovery of range of knee motion after surgery when compared with conventional techniques.
