Comparison of mini-subvastus approach versus medial parapatellar approach in primary total knee arthroplasty: A meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials

Minimally invasive knee arthroplasty is rapidly gaining recognition with the aim of reducing the damage to the extensional mechanism of traditional medial parapatellar approach and achieving faster recovery of patients after surgery. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of mini-subvastus (MSV) and medial parapatellar (MMP) approach in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
