Outpatient, quadriceps-sparing (quad-sparing) knee replacement surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that offers several advantages over the standard knee replacement surgery procedure. It does not involve cutting the quadriceps tendon and the incision is smaller and less deep as compared to the standard method. In many cases, patients go …
Impact of Arthritis After ACL Reconstruction. According to a new study, people who have undergone reconstructive surgery such as total knee replacement have high chance of developing wear-and-tear arthritis, three times more in the injured knee than in the injured one (as published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, 57 percent …
Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint. The most common reasons for knee replacement surgery are to relieve pain and replace joint cartilage damaged by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and a variety of other conditions that lead to arthritis of the knee.During total knee ...
If you have a total knee replacement in your future, you may have heard about a procedure that retains the anterior cruciate ligament, also known as an ACL-sparing knee replacement.
The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a band of tissue inside your knee. It gets damaged when it stretches or tears. ACL injuries are common among people who play sports because they make ...
First Choice Medical Group Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Kenneth Sands, Now First in the State of Florida Trained and Certified to Perform ACL-Sparing Total Knee Replacement
The posterior cruciate ligament provides support and stable movement of the knee. In total knee replacement surgery, the posterior cruciate ligament can be kept in place or removed. This choice depends on the condition of the ligament, the type of total knee replacement selected or preference of the surgeon.
We describe the features of modern and historical bicruciate-retaining (BCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants compared with other TKA implant designs, reviewing kinematics, proprioception, operative technique, and clinical results.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial parts. The knee is made up of the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap).
The knee is a complex joint made up of different structures including bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles. They all work together to maintain normal function and provide stability to the knee during movement. Dr David Fabi is a knee specialist who offers knee surgeries such as knee replacement and knee arthroscopy in San Diego.
When the ACL is to be preserved in any type of arthroplasty procedure (whether unicompartmental knee arthroplasty or bicruciate-retaining TKA), one must have the necessary implants and instruments on hand.

Overview. Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the ends of the bone forming the knee joint with artificial parts. While the traditional approach to knee replacement surgery has been around for many years, minimally invasive techniques for knee replacement have been introduced recently. Minimally invasive techniques offer ...
Anatomic location of the incision. A: The skin outline of the minimally invasive surgery incision and its relationship to the patella, the medial femoral condyle, and the tibial joint line; B: Total knee arthroplasty with the quadriceps sparing approach.
The ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament helps join the knee to the shin and thigh bones. The leg twists and turns with the ACL and PCL. As the knee replacement allows flexibility, the ligaments are no longer required. The debate on removing the ligaments rages on. New approaches in ACL-sparing knee replacement are in the works.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, and many of these patients go on to ACL reconstruction. At a later date, some may develop symptomatic osteoarthritis and require total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This raises the question: Does prior ACL reconstruction have a deleterious impact on the outcome of knee arthroplasty? Thirty …
On Jan. 11, 2018, Rovinsky traveled to Los Angeles where he presented lectures on robotic-assisted total knee replacement and bicruciate sparing total knee replacement.
Experience new knee surgery with the Muscle Sparing Knee Surgery procedures for better results. The knee is a complex, hinged joint. Conditions such as arthritis, old fractures, abnormal stress and aging may damage the joint and cause rough areas to develop. Replacement involves resurfacing the bones of the knee joint. Depending on your …
A partial knee replacement is also known as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty or unicondylar knee arthroplasty. In this surgery, damaged cartilage and bone are removed and replaced only in one diseased compartment of the knee. This differs from a total knee replacement, in which bone and cartilage from the entire joint are replaced.
Services and areas of expertise include: Same-day total joint replacement for hip and knee. Minimally-invasive hip replacement, including muscle-sparing anterior approach. Partial knee replacement in which only the damaged area of cartilage is removed and replaced. Hip arthroscopy, including minimally-invasive repair of hip impingement and ...
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary soft-tissue structure for anterior stabilization of the knee and is one of the most frequently injured structures. The incidence of ACL injuries in children and adolescents ranges from 92 to 151 per 100,000 person-years. The choice of surgical treatment for this population group is controversial, …
A curvilinear anteromedial longitudinal incision was made through skin and subcutaneous tissue. A medial arthrotomy with a midvastus split was developed. The patella was dislocated laterally revealing end-stage arthritis in the knee. Remnants of the medial and lateral menisci, ACL, and the patella fat pads were excised.
Quadriceps sparing total knee arthroplasty is one of the minimally invasive approaches for knee replacement. The operative technique is somewhat demanding and requires slight modification of the standard instruments. The clinical results do show a more rapid early recovery with less associated pain.
Recently, a new alternative has emerged—the Zimmer Minimally Invasive Solutions (MISTM) Quad-Sparing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), often referred to as a "mini total knee replacement." This technique uses the same implants as traditional total knee replacement but is less invasive.
This procedure aims to restore a pain-free, fully functional and durable knee joint. Total knee replacement is a well-established treatment modality, and more recently, partial knee replacement—more commonly known as bi- or unicompartmental knee replacement—has seen resurgence in interest and popularity.
Background The aim of this study is to compare 2 groups of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs): the bicruciate-retaining (BCR—group) and cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (CR—group), evaluating the functional results in the short-term follow-up. Methods 24 BCR were included in the study and were compared with a group of 24 …
Nonetheless, dissatisfied patients are frequently reported in the literature. Bi-cruciate retaining total knee prostheses (BCR TKA) were designed to address the demand for more kinematically functional implants that better reconstruct natural knee kinematics. In BCR TKA, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is preserved.
Advocates for PCL sparing total knee arthroplasty generally cite five theoretical advantages: (1) increases passive range of motion, (2) preserves the quadriceps lever arm, (3) enhances joint …
