General Information

Area of Focus: Hip, Knee & Lower Extremity and Joint Replacement

Learn why the vastus-splitting approach offers a viable alternative to the median parapatellar and subvastus approaches for primary TKA. Review indications, preoperative radiographs, and postoperative radiographs. Observe procedural details, covering surgical approach, splitting the vastus medialis obliquus, arthrotomy and soft tissue releases, flexion and extension gap balancing, patellar tracking, and closure. 3D animation illustrates the benefits of an inside-out retinacular release and the vector forces at play when the VMO is spared.
