Abstract
Minimally invasive total knee replacement surgery may make it possible for patients to undergo the procedure with less pain and recover from the surgery more quickly than has been previously possible. However, minimally invasive techniques have the potential for being associated with a number of complications, including implant and limb malalignment. Computer-assisted technologies used in conjunction with minimally invasive techniques allow the accuracy with which the procedures are performed to be retained.
