Unlike conventional
total knee replacement—which requires a large incision
(8 to 12 inches) and significant disruption of the muscles
and tendons—MIS Knee Joint Replacement is performed through
an incision as small as 3 to 4 inches. In some MIS procedures
the amount of soft tissue (muscles and tendons, etc.) that
are disrupted during surgery may also be reduced. Through that
same small incision, the diseased surfaces of the knee joint
are exposed and then replaced, one at a time, with the artificial
joint components.
