Total knee arthroplasty has been a very successful procedure in the treatment of end-stage arthritis of the knee. However, this procedure has traditionally required an extensive approach that might be linked to an arduous recovery period because of postoperative quadriceps weakness. The proposed benefits of minimally invasive approaches include improved gain of early flexion, decreased use of analgesics, improved postoperative quadriceps function, decreased blood loss, shorter length of hospital stay, cosmetically better smaller incision, early recovery, and rapid rehabilitation.

Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty has been a very successful procedure in the treatment of end-stage arthritis of the knee. However, this procedure has traditionally required an extensive approach that might be linked to an arduous recovery period because of postoperative quadriceps weakness. The proposed benefits of minimally invasive approaches include improved gain of early flexion, decreased use of analgesics, improved postoperative quadriceps function, decreased blood loss, shorter length of hospital stay, cosmetically better smaller incision, early recovery, and rapid rehabilitation.
