Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery
A minimally invasive surgery uses a smaller cut than a traditional total knee replacement. This type of surgery typically requires special tools so that the surgery team can see and do the procedure through the smaller incision.
Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery involves an incision to access the shinbone and thigh bone, followed by removal of a portion of the bones that make up the knee joint. The surgeon replaces these bone parts with metal components that recreate the joint surface. A layer of plastic is placed between the metal components for smooth gliding.
The right doctor to consult for Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery is an Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon.
