Had my hyaluronic acid injection on my knee at Duke. I asked the doc about jiffy knee and he looked at me as though I'd ask if jiffy lube would work for my knee. He ha not heard of it.

Interested in your comment - I’m in eastern NC, hour east of Raleigh. Just diagnosed at age 75 with bone on bone OA in left knee. Seeing an ortho in my town this week, but wondered about going to Duke.

Ha Ha! I've read about the different ways TKR is done, and Jiffy Knee is (to me) just basically 'minimally invasive'. There are many surgeons that do minimally invasive, and if they don't, I personally feel that they are just used to doing it the traditional way and don't want to learn the other ways that are being done...So maybe just find a surgeon that does minimally invasive, which means no cutting through the quad tendon and muscles and a smaller incision! Good luck!
