Advances in Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement Techniques: Redefining Precision and Recovery

Abstract

Minimally invasive joint replacement (MIJR) techniques have revolutionized orthopedic surgery by significantly reducing recovery times, hospital stays, and complication rates compared to traditional methods. Enhanced by innovations like robotics, augmented reality (AR), and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), MIJR offers greater surgical precision with less trauma to surrounding tissues. This article explores the latest advancements in MIJR, demonstrating its impact on clinical outcomes and highlighting future trends such as AI-driven surgical planning and biologic implants. MIJR has become the gold standard in joint replacement, providing patients with faster recovery and improved long-term results.
