Subvastus, midvastus and medial parapatellar approaches are the most popular approaches in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the superior approach in TKA still remains controversial. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively compare the midvastus and subvastus approaches to the medial parapatellar approach in TKA. A total of 32 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 2451 TKAs in 2129 patients were included in this study. The meta-analysis suggested that, when compared with the medial parapatellar approach, the midvastus approach showed better outcomes in pain and knee range of motion at postoperative 1-2Â weeks but also was associated with longer operative time; the subvastus approach showed better outcomes in knee range of motion at postoperative 1Â week, straight leg raise and lateral retinacular release.
