Minimally invasive orthopedic surgery (MIOS) has revolutionized musculoskeletal care by offering less traumatic alternatives to traditional open procedures. Driven by advancements in imaging, instrumentation, robotics, and surgical technique, MIOS is associated with reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved functional outcomes. This article reviews the current trends, innovations, clinical outcomes, and challenges in MIOS across various orthopedic subspecialties, and explores future directions in this rapidly evolving field.
