When considering Knee replacement, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:
A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint by inserting a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions.
This procedure involves replacing only one compartment of the knee joint, preserving more of the patient's natural bone and ligaments.
Knee MAKOplasty is a minimally invasive knee surgery using robotic assistance to ensure precise implant placement.
