Total knee replacement—without cutting through the quad?
It’s called the subvastus, or “quad-sparing,” approach—branded as the Jiffy Knee. Instead of cutting through the quadriceps muscle, this technique keeps the quadriceps in tact, minimizing tissue disruption.
The result: a more muscle-preserving procedure designed to support faster recovery timelines and a quicker return to daily activities. In this segment, we break down the anatomy behind the approach and why it’s changing how knee replacements are performed.
Stay tuned—over the next few weeks, we’ll take a deeper dive into the subvastus (quad-sparing) total knee replacement from start to finish.
