Traditional approach to knee replacement surgery involves the medial parapatellar approach which involves cutting the Quadriceps tendon. The quadriceps tendon is the major muscle after a knee replacement for walking and stairs. Jiffy Knee surgeons DO NOT cut the Quadriceps or the VMO muscles. We use special instruments and techniques to “lift” the muscle and slide it out of the way to perform your knee replacement surgery. Dr. Jay Patel, is the only surgeon in Massachusetts and Rhode Island that performs the Jiffy Knee Replacement.
Why Choose the Muscle-Sparing Jiffy Knee Approach?
One of the key advantages of the Jiffy Knee is that it minimizes disruption to the muscles and tissues around your knee, leading to:
- Quicker Recovery: Many patients experience a faster return to normal activities, often within a few weeks.
- Less Pain: By avoiding muscle and tendon cuts, post-surgery discomfort is greatly reduced.
- Better Function: You’ll likely regain strength and movement sooner, allowing for better long-term function of your knee.
