Minimally invasive knee replacement is a surgical approach that employs smaller incisions and specialized instruments to reduce tissue damage and promote quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
1
Small Incision
Several small incisions are made, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
2
Specialized Instruments
Minimally invasive techniques utilize specialized instruments to perform the surgery through the smaller incisions.
3
Muscle-sparing
The approach aims to minimize disruption to surrounding muscles and tendons.
With reduced tissue trauma, patients may experience a quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay. Smaller incisions result in less post-operative pain and scarring, enhancing patient comfort and cosmetic outcomes. Minimally invasive techniques preserve more healthy tissue, leading to improved joint function and range of motion post-surgery. Advanced instrumentation and imaging enhance surgical precision and long-term results. Tailored rehabilitation programmes further accelerate healing and support a faster return to daily activities.
Rehabilitation
Physical therapy plays a crucial role in restoring strength, flexibility, and stability to the knee joint.
Pain Management
Effective pain management strategies help alleviate discomfort during recovery.
Follow-up Appointments
Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon are essential to monitor progress, assess joint function, and address any concerns or complications.
