Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement
Minimally invasive knee replacement accomplishes everything that a traditional knee replacement does, but through a smaller incision (4- to 6-inch incision compared with an 8- to 10-inch incision). With the smaller incision come the potential benefits of a shorter hospital stay, shorter recovery, and a better looking scar……

Outcomes

Several early studies of minimally invasive knee replacement surgery have shown some benefits compared with traditional knee replacement, such as less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and better motion. Other studies have shown a higher rate of complications with minimally invasive knee surgery, including poorer positioning of the knee implants.
