Knee Replacement – Surgery Approaches

Transcript

During surgery, there are different ways to approach your knee without cutting the muscles, without cutting the tendons. Your recovery is easier. There is something called quad sparing technique where the quadriceps muscle tendon is spared. That gives you the ability to be able to extend and flex your knee right away after surgery. Usually, incisions are smaller than traditional. The size of the incision is not the most important part, but the ability to replace your knee less invasive with less dissection, with less manipulations and with very gentle management of the soft tissues helps in your recovery.
