Summary

Nowadays, due to the demands to improve life and health conditions of osteoarthritis patients, more effective surgical treatment methods are needed to obtain satisfactory results when performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Fast-track surgical protocols are evidence based multidisciplinary approaches targeted on multimodal patient care and primarily focused on enhancing rapid functional recovery of the patients. These protocols recommend use of minimal invasive approaches for TKA patients to enhance rapid recovery. Although studies in the literature has been reported similar results in medial para-patellar approach (MPP) and minimal invasive approaches in long terms, better surgical outcomes in short term in favor of minimal invasive approaches also encouraged fast-track protocol builders to prefer minimal invasive approaches. However, this recommendation is not evidence based and there is no study comparing surgical outcomes between minimal invasive approaches and MPP approach in terms of pain, length of hospital stays and functional recovery in fast-track TKA patients. Therefore, we aimed to compare the effects of mini mid-vastus (MMV) and MPP approaches on postoperative clinical results (pain, quality of life, functional outcome, and length of hospital stay) in fast-track TKA patients, and to decide whether any additional achievements are obtained with MMV approach in this patient group.
