Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty

Describes a mini-subvastus approach using a MIS posterior referencing instrumentation system. This book offer tips, such as working with anesthesia to optimize muscle relaxation, using an adjustable leg holder to help with flexion, and varying the knee position to optimize exposure.

The book focuses on hip, knee and lower extremity and joint replacement. It describes a mini-subvastus approach using a MIS posterior referencing instrumentation system. The authors offer useful tips, such as working with anesthesia to optimize muscle relaxation, using an adjustable leg holder to help with flexion, and varying the knee position to optimize exposure. This technique may appear to be more difficult than other approaches, but with an evolutionary approach, it can be used on all patients desiring minimally invasive TKA.
