Abstract
Minimally-invasive total knee replacement surgery (MIS) can be performed by general orthopaedic surgeons with results that are comparable in the medium-term with conventional surgery, and with the short-term advantages afforded by MIS. The learning curve was 26 knee replacements. The variables that improve were tourniquet time, need for blood transfusion and length of hospitalisation. The final functional result and radiological positioning were not affected.
