Abstract
- European surgeons and North American surgeons have different approaches to minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Computer-assisted navigation emphasizes these differences. In this article, the author rethinks what surgeons are trying to achieve and notes that quality control is demanded by patients and surgeons. Although minimally invasive TKA is an accepted procedure, reflection on the facts suggests that the use of minimally invasive surgery and TKA navigation are intertwined and cannot be separated.
