This is a new and exciting period in orthopedic surgery. Times are
cha- ing,and we are developing techniques to perform joint
arthroplasty through smaller and smaller incisions in an effort to
reduce the amount of int- operative trauma and expedite the path to
recovery. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) leads to shorter
hospital stays with quicker recoveries. The procedures may
eventually be performed on an outpatient basis with an earlier
return to daily activities and work. We have asked the leading
world authorities in this ?eld of orthopaedics to contribute their
ideas on these new techniques. Because so much of the technology is
new, the authors cannot present signi?cant long-term foll- up.
However, with their cooperation, we can present the most current
knowledge about the ef?cacy of MIS. Thomas P. Sculco,Mark A.
Hartzband, and Richard A. Berger have summarized their early
experiences with m- imally invasive surgical total hip arthroplasty
in a succinct manner. Paolo Aglietti, Jean-Noel A. Argenson, and
David W. Murray have provided - depth impressions of the European
experience with unicondylar knee arthroplasty. John A. Repicci, a
pioneer in MIS knee surgery, presents his experience with
unicondylar knee arthroplasty. Finally,Thomas M. Coon adds his own
experience to give a glimpse into the future of MIS total knee
arthroplasty. We are grateful to all of the authors and
contributors to this text for their time and consideration. It is
our hope that this work will be the foundation for the future of
MIS total hip and knee arthroplasty.
