Total Knee Replacement with Advanced MIS Technique

Advanced Treatment Overview

This procedure may be considered for advanced knee arthritis causing persistent pain, deformity, stiffness, difficulty walking or major limitation in everyday activities despite appropriate non-surgical treatment.

Principle

This is a muscle-preserving knee replacement approach using the subvastus technique, planned to avoid sacrificing the muscles around the knee joint wherever clinically suitable.

Advantages

• Small incision of approximately 4–6 inches
• Less intraoperative blood loss
• Reduced surgical load and operative time in suitable cases
• Supports early post-operative mobilization, often within 24 hours, because the knee muscles are preserved as much as possible
• Designed to support return to daily activities, including squatting and sitting cross-legged, as advised during recovery
• Shorter hospitalization in suitable cases, with discharge possible after about 24 hours based on recovery and medical fitness

Consultation and procedure selection depend on clinical examination, imaging, overall health and individual patient suitability.
