Jiffy knee replacement

Posted by denhyg1run @denhyg1run, Oct 11, 2024

Has anyone heard about Jiffy Knee Replacement? It was invented by a Dr. Patel in Virginia. Supposedly they don't cut your femur or ligaments. Any knowledge would be beneficial. Here in Las Vegas, a Dr. McGee does them and the recovery is short and no need for pain meds. Thanks, Diana

No. Dr. Manish Patel is in Virginia. The jiffyknee.com site has a list of the only doctors trained to do the jiffy knee procedure. It also explains the benefits and has testimonials. As mentioned above, the FB page for jiffy knee replacement fan club can be helpful also.

I will be having the Jiffy Knee surgery in February or March. They don't cut the quad, they go in under it. This helps a lot with a quicker recovery.
