TKA Min
Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty \[TKA(min)\]: TKA(min) is a procedure in which diseased and painful joint surfaces of the knee are replaced by metal and plastic components shaped to allow continued motion of the knee. TKA(min), as opposed to TKA, employs smaller skin incisions and smaller instrumentation and avoids turning the knee cap out and dislocating the knee. This procedure also avoids disrupting the knee extensor mechanism and the suprapatellar pouch and minimizes extreme knee flexion during surgery.
