The Scorpio® and Duracon® Total Knee Systems are also designed to help provide improved range of motion and greater flexibility in the performance of daily activities following the procedure.

Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement

Over the past 25 years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized many fields of medicine. Its key characteristic is that it uses specialized techniques and instrumentation that enable the surgeon to perform major surgery without a large incision.

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Knee Joint Replacement is an advancement that offers important advantages. The Stryker MIS Knee Joint Replacement technique brings together high-quality knee implants, new minimally invasive surgical techniques, and new instrumentation.

MIS Total Knee Replacement (TKR), unlike conventional TKR requiring a large incision (8 to 12 inches) and significant disruption of the muscles and tendons, is performed through a 3- to 4-inch incision and may also reduce the amount of soft tissue (muscles and tendons, etc.) disrupted during surgery.

MIS Partial Knee Resurfacing (PKR) is performed to replace only the damaged surface of the knee joint through the smaller incision, minimizing trauma to healthy bone and tissue. Because the PKR artificial joints are so much smaller than total knee implants, the surgical incision can be significantly smaller as well.
