🦵 JIFFY KNEE vs. SUBVASTUS: What’s the REAL Difference? 👀

Not all knee replacement techniques treat your muscles and soft tissues the same way! 🤯

Dr. Eric Lepkowsky, Joint Replacement Specialist at Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, answers one of the biggest questions patients are asking:

How is Jiffy Knee™ different from traditional, subvastus, and midvastus knee replacement techniques?

🔍 The difference is in how the soft tissues are handled.

Traditional, subvastus, and midvastus techniques involve varying degrees of soft tissue dissection to access the knee joint.

✅ Jiffy Knee™ takes a different approach.

The surgical dissection goes from the skin directly to the joint capsule, preserving the surrounding muscle and tendon layers without exposing or stripping them.

💥 The goal? Less tissue disruption, with the potential for:

✅ Less postoperative pain

✅ Reduced swelling

✅ A more comfortable recovery

✅ Earlier mobility

Same goal. A new way to reach the knee joint.

🎥 Watch Dr. Lepkowsky explain why preserving soft tissue matters during knee replacement surgery.

Does a meniscus tear mean you need a knee replacement?

Dr. Eric Lepkowsky, joint replacement surgeon, breaks down one of the most common knee questions patients ask.

A meniscus tear can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, catching, or trouble walking. But knee replacement is not the automatic next step.

The right treatment depends on your age, symptoms, activity level, cartilage health, and the amount of arthritis in the knee.

In this video, Dr. Lepkowsky explains how surgeons evaluate meniscus tears and why some patients improve with non-surgical care, injections, physical therapy, or arthroscopic treatment before knee replacement enters the conversation.

Save this video if knee pain has been holding you back.
