What is minimally invasive knee replacement surgery?

As the name suggests, minimally invasive knee-replacement surgery is less intrusive form of knee replacement surgery compared to total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Reasons why many people opt for minimally invasive knee-replacement surgery include:

Shorter recovery time
Shorter hospital stay after surgery
Less painful recovery
Less tissue trauma inside the knee
Less scar tissue on the knee due to smaller incisions

There are many pros and cons to minimally invasive knee-replacement surgery. In certain cases, minimally invasive knee-replacement surgery may not be right for you, based on your unique medical issues. That’s why it’s critical that you discuss your options carefully with one of our knee surgeons.
