Minimally Invasive Total Knee Replacement Surgery Procedure

The quadriceps muscle on the front of the thigh is the key to successful healing after all Total Knee Replacement surgery. Minimally Invasive Total Knee Replacement surgery goes around the quadriceps and not through it that results in less postoperative pain and a speedier return of movement and strength. The incision is three to five inches. The quadriceps isn’t cut, but is released from the underlying joint capsule on one side and then slipped out of the way for the surgery. After the knee joint is exposed, diseased bone and cartilage are taken out from the distal femur and the proximal tibia that are then realigned with implants.
