Jiffy Knee
Jiffy knee surgeons prioritize muscle and tendon preservation. We don’t cut muscles or tendons. Instead, we employ specialized instruments and techniques to gently “lift” the muscle and slide it. Our approach minimizes trauma and accelerates healing because only the skin and joint capsule are cut.
Most surgeons in Albuquerque cut the quadriceps tendon to access the knee and then stitch it back after the surgery. The quadriceps tendon is the workhorse of the knee. Why spend time and energy rehabbing the muscle when the arthritis is in the knee joint itself?
