MIS surgery in fracture fixation has become a new concept. Minimal invasive surgery means to avoid any additional trauma to the already traumatised tissues. Plate & screw fixation has been a known concept for years. But this needs opening of the fracture site; increasing the chances of infection, scaring of the tissues and increased stiffness increasing the duration of physio days and also decreasing the final outcome.
MIS surgery in fracture fixation, a new concept made popular by Dr. B.B Joshi, by the introduction of JESS. The concept makes us get the alignment of fracture fragment without opening the fracture site. The external frame put avoids the use of plasters and the resultant stiffness.
As seen in this video, patient could do her day-to day activities on the next day of surgery, as the fracture heals. No incisions, so no scars, so cosmetically much superior. No chance of getting any infection at fracture site, no need of physio, as patient is back in action from the next day. This concept has revolutionist the outlook towards the care of a fracture patient.
This surgery was performed for the first time in Goa by Dr. Amey Velingker, Orthopaedic and Joint replacement surgeon, Apollo Hospitals, Goa.
