The lateral curve incision for a knee replacement

When I first started doing total knee replacements, we never really thought about the skin incision and how impacted our patients. I used to perform my knee replacements using a standard straight incision vertically based, that run down the midline of the knee - it made the knee easier to perform. 4-5 years ago, we switched to using a curved lateral incision around the knee, which was performed for the sole purpose of improving a patients capabilities to kneel on their knee.
Fast forward 5 years, and it has become such a positive attribute and change to the way I perform our kinematically aligned knee replacements due to the functional ability to kneel in more of my patients, but also because it is an aesthetically pleasing scar. Small changes can have positive benefits for our patients.

I had my knee replacement just over 4 years ago by Dr Liew and have no problem on kneeling on the knee whatsoever.
I can recommend Dr Liee and this approach for knee surgery.
