Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is changing the way orthopedic surgery is practiced and is now considered state-of-the-art. There are rapid advances in the surgical techniques with the introduction of n- igation and robotics, which assist the surgeon in performing the p- cedure with limited visualization. This edition of MIS Techniques in Orthopedics elaborates on current techniques for the hip and knee, and also introduces the most recent sections on the upper extremity and computer navigation. The contributing authors are experts in the ?eld and share with the reader their experiences and surgical pearls. Keeping pace with new techniques and technologies in orthopedic surgery can be very demanding; our hope is that surgeons will ?nd this text a useful reference as they embark upon minimally invasive surgery.
