Jiffy Knee®: The Ultimate Quadriceps-Sparing Knee Replacement

Traditional knee replacement often requires cutting the quadriceps tendon to access the joint. While effective, cutting the tendon increases pain, swelling, and recovery time as the tendon heals.

Jiffy Knee® is different.
This innovative approach avoids cutting the tendon, which means:
✅ Less pain and stiffness
✅ Faster recovery
✅ Improved strength and motion from the very start

Some surgeons use the Subvastus Approach, which is technically quadriceps-sparing, but it requires undermining the skin and soft tissues at the front of the knee. This extra trauma to the tissues can limit its benefits, showing only modest improvements in recovery.

Jiffy Knee® takes a better path.
Using a small medial oblique incision (on the inside of the knee), Jiffy Knee® minimizes soft tissue disruption—offering patients BOTH a quadriceps-sparing approach and a minimally invasive pathway. The result: reduced pain, faster recovery, and greater confidence compared to traditional or Subvastus techniques.

Patients consistently report quicker return to strength, function, and quality of life with Jiffy Knee®.

We are changing the game here at AZ Ortho! Take a look at this patient only 6 weeks out from a partial shoulder replacement! We use the newest technique to avoid cutting into the rotator cuff, and with the latest and greatest with a Pyrocarbon head! The material is Pyrocarbon, and has a hardness similar to bone, which means it won’t break down the cartilage and bone on the scapula. And with the cuff-sparing approach, you can see how quickly motion and function return after the surgery. You may notice him from a previous video, and how much he’s gained in only 6 weeks! It’s changing the game in orthopedics! Come see what all the hype is all about at AZ Ortho today!

One week out from a rotator cuff sparing shoulder replacement.

Here is another one of Dr. Enders’ patients one week out from a cuff-sparing shoulder replacement. This patient had bad arthritis of the humerus, but relatively well-preserved cartilage on the scapula. He was able to have only a partial shoulder replacement, with the newest hardware which uses a pyrocarbon surface for the head. This is much softer, but just as durable as traditional joint replacements with metal. By doing this, we avoid the #1 reason for revisions of Anatomic shoulder replacements, which is loosening of the plastic piece on the scapula. With the rotator cuff sparing technique, there are numerous advantages. As you can see in this video, he’s not wearing a sling one week out from surgery, his pain is well controlled and less than if we had to violate his rotator cuff, and his motion and function are rapidly returning! Come see us today AZ Ortho to see the latest and greatest innovations and techniques that Dr. Enders has to offer for shoulder surgeries! Call our office today for new consults!

Here is one of Dr. Enders’ patients one week out from a rotator cuff sparing shoulder replacement. As you can see his pain is well controlled and he doesn’t need a sling! The motion is already coming back in the shoulder, much quicker than the conventional way of doing shoulder replacements where the rotator cuff is violated.
