What are the pros and cons of minimally invasive surgery? Does it make a meaningful difference in the result?
Minimally invasive total knee replacement uses the same clinically proven implants used in traditional surgery, but through a much smaller incision that avoids any trauma to the quadriceps muscle and spares the medial ligament as well. This unique approach, known as Freedom Knee, developed by Dr. Steve Nguyen, dramatically reduces pain by sparing muscles and tendons that historically have been cut during standard total knee replacement surgery.
