| Minimally
Invasive Surgery (MIS) for Total Knee Replacemet (TKR)
|
In
addition to a large surgical incision of 8 to 10 inches, Total Knee
Replacement also results in joint dislocation, patella eversion
and quadriceps mechanism disruption. Patient demand for a less invasive
surgical approach reducing the trauma induced to the joint has resulted
in the development of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) for TKR Using
Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS). By definition, performing any procedure
less invasively results in less soft tissue and bone disruption,
which reduces pain, reduces bleeding, speeds healing and the recovery
of patients and potentially reduces complications. |
| We
are now offering MITKR…MINIMALLY INVASIVE TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT
USING CAS (COMPUTER ASSISTED SURGERY)
|
| It
is combining two technologies to give optimum output i.e perfect
component placement, through a small incision, leading to early
recovery, less bleeding and shorter hospital stay. |
Minimum
Exposure Maximum Accuracy
• Minimally
Invasive TKR with CAS
• Less
Invasive knee surgery simple flexible approach |
•
Less invasive is a path to MITKR CAS
• The Decision About Mi Approach should be based on
–
Evaluation in the Clinic
– X Ray evaluation
– Physical evaluation
– Inter operative evaluation

Sequential Bone cuts make space for the instruments |
The instruments
fit in the incision in flexion and extension |
