MIS muscle sparing
Surgical Approach for Total Knee Arthroplasty Muscle-Sparing Arthrotomy
The operative technique for the standard total knee arthroplasty (TKA) involves a skin incision between 16cm (6in) to 30cm (12in). In comparison, when Dr. Luke Vaughan started talking about a 'shorter incision' in 2000 for primary total knee arthroplasty, he suggested that 10cm (4in) was a good starting point and the incision could be extended if needed. Since that time, some surgeons are reporting that a skin incision for the Minimally Invasive Solutions™ (MIS™) Quad-Sparing™ technique may be as short as 8cm (3in). Read more >

Zimmer® NexGen® MIS™ Tibial Component
Innovative Design for MIS Procedures
The NexGen MIS Tibial Component was designed specifically to address the challenges and demands of minimally invasive TKA. The new Zimmer design incorporates broad proximal fins that engage the tibia in the area of highest bone density for secure fixation, while its low profile makes it easier to insert into the minimally invasive arthrotomy. Its modular design with drop down extension capability expands physician options. Read more >
