The purpose of this study is to gather information about total knee replacement surgery using minimally invasive surgical procedures. The MIS™ Minimally Invasive Solutions™ Total Knee Arthroplasty System has been cleared for use by the Food and Drug Administration.
You are invited to participate in this data collection study, comparing the MIS system to standard knee replacement systems. The decision about which system and operation will be best for you has already been made by you and your orthopaedic surgeon.
