Has anyone heard of this procedure? How is it different than traditional TKR? Any new technologies or techniques for TKR that would merit waiting?

There is thread on Jiffy knee and in that thread other methods are also mentioned there and, I think, under the tkr subject.

My surgeon touted "minimally invasive" but it just meant smaller incision perhaps.
So much is on the patient to inquire, study and evaluate, prior to such a big undertaking of a joint replacement.
