Disadvantages of minimally invasive orthopedic surgery

Minimally invasive orthopedic surgery refers to a treatment of the disease through a variety of luminal scopes, manifested in the absence of large incisions on the skin, and its shortcomings include a long healing time, incomplete reset, and higher costs. 1. Long healing time: minimally invasive surgery mainly involves small incisions on the skin, and for serious comminuted fractures, the fracture may be free during treatment, resulting in no way to reset well, and it will take a longer time to heal. 2. Incomplete restoration: minimally invasive surgery reveals a relatively small part of the fracture, for serious fractures, the fracture end will be incompletely restored after the surgery to achieve functional restoration, resulting in pain when the fracture end is moved. 3. Higher cost: Minimally invasive orthopedic surgery requires some large instruments, such as orthopedic traction bed, bedside X-ray machine, etc., and in order to avoid infection, the environment of the surgery is more demanding, and the treatment cost will be relatively high.
