• Main reason for minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches is not cosmetic result, but minnimal surgical trauma
![Page 3: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The goals of MIS in hip surgery are:
• minimal surgical soft tissue trauma • minimal surgical trauma response• minimal IOP and postOP blood loss• accelerated rehabilitation• better functional result and• cosmetic result
![Page 4: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• In posterior, lateral and anterolateral approaches, even in MIS, some extent of rotator or abductor muscle damage is expected.
• Muscular dinamic stability of the hip is thus impaired
![Page 5: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Compared to other MIS approaches in hip surgery, AMIS approach avoids trauma of any of the hip muscles and thus spares dinamic stabilizers of the hip and motors of the hip motion.
• This enables immediate postoperative full-weight bearing and activation of the patient without range of motion limitations
![Page 6: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• It is as well important, that posterior capsule in AMIS stays intact, so that the patient may sit, use the normal toilet or even squad as soon as postoperative pain permits.

AMIS for partial hemiarthroplasty in elderly, after hip fracture
![Page 8: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Expected problems after hip fracture in elderly
• Higher posttraumatic and postoperative general complications
• Higher rate of local post OP complications• Prolonged rehabilitation• Prolonged hospital stay• High rate of residual dependence and inability• Shorter life-time expectancy
![Page 9: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• One of the reasons of prolonged rehabilitation and for prolonged or permanent bed rest of the elderly patients with hip fracture after hemiarthroplasty is weakness and inability to learn and use crutches.
![Page 10: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Expected benefits of AMIS
• Minimal operative trauma• Minimal IOP and post OP blood loss• Less IOP and postOP complications• Immediate postoperative mobilization of the
patient without crutches• Higher possibillity of achieving abilityi
andndependancy of the elder patient• Higher rate of survival and prologation of
active life-time of the elder patient
![Page 11: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why?• Because hemiarthroplasty through AMIS
approach allows for immediate postoperative full-weight bearing and activation of the patient without range of motion limitations – immediate mobilization without crutches
![Page 12: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Conclusions
Results of AMIS approach have shown: • shorter OP to mobilization time compared
to AL and L approach• shorter total treatment time and• less IOP blood loss • Only in AMIS group 28% of patients were
dismissed from hospital walking without any support (crutches, etc)
![Page 29: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Conclusions
• Operative time was shorter in L group than in AMIS and AL group
• There was no difference at Follow-up for Harris hip (HSS) and functional impedence measure (FIM) between the groups
![Page 30: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Drawbacks of the study
• Not only approaches, but also surgical skill of the surgeons has been compared
• In AMIS group, learning curve is included• The number of patients in the groups is too
small to be relevant for majority of measured criteria
• The study was retrospective
![Page 31: Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty · Femoral neck fractures in elderly, treated by hemiarthroplasty: AMIS vs. anterolateral and lateral surgical approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052812/608ee2b307933c74076288fc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Though we could not proove statistically, we have a strong impression, that AMIS approach for hemiarthroplasty could have a positive outcome to the survival rate and improoved quality of life especially for elderly patients with femoral neck fracture

• We are going to continue the study on a prospective and randomised bases.
