Evaluation of a knee-joint functional rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty by standart and miniinvasive midvastus approaches
The article presents comparative results of total knee arthroplasty of two groups of patients for gonarthrosis 3-4 stage perfomed by standart and minimally invasive midvastus approaches (30 knee joints in each group). Advantages and differences of these methods are discussed. Early and late postoperative outcomes are analyzed. Minimally invasive midvastus approach for total knee arthroplasty reduces duration of rehabilitation of the patients with gonarthrosis and improves its results, especially in early postoperative period.
