Figure 20 - In minimally-invasive quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement, the incision is much shorter, the kneecap is not everted, and the important quadriceps muscle and tendon are not divided. This may permit faster rehabilitation after knee replacement surgery. This photo shows the view of a total knee replacement performed through the smaller incision used for minimally-invasive quadriceps-sparing approach.
