Who is a candidate for MIS knee replacement surgery ?
Not everyone is a candidate for the MIS Quad Sparing total knee procedure. The procedure is not possible in very over weight individuals, very heavily muscled individuals, patients with very significant ‘knock knees’, or ‘bow legs’ or in patients with significant contractures of their knees. Most patients are candidates for the mini-incision total knee procedure which does involve cutting a small portion of one of the quadriceps muscles.
