Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Tuscon, AZ - This live Internet broadcast from El Dorado Hospital features a Zimmer MIS sub-vastus total knee replacement surgery.

The procedure uses a sub-vastus approach and requires an incision of only 9 to 14 cm, compared with 20 to 30 cm used in a standard knee replacement arthroplasty. Among the goals of this minimally invasive technique are shorter hospital stays, lower blood loss, faster rehabilitation and a more cosmetically appealing surgical scar.
