I have been researching. And my old knee has calmed down again (for the time being). I would prefer to have at least one real knee... maybe I am crazy... I just can't think of going through all this again.
I'll check out your recommendation.
Hard to find actual studies on the different procedures for totals now. Too new. Are those videos all glossy sales & hype?

They can be. There is a surgeon in San Diego who does a lot of videos and he teaches. He applied for the Jiffy Knee and was told that they don't do teachers, hospitals, etc. That may be why there is nothing out there in the literature specifically about it.
In my opinion as I have stated above, Jiffy Knee is primarily a marketing ploy around a technology that has been around forever. Whether one is doing a Jiffy Knee, a Nano knee, a subvastus knee, a mini midvastus knee, there are great surgeons doing each and terrible surgeons doing each.
My big problem with the Jiffy Knee is that, at least publicly, it only focuses on the means of entry and not all the other issues around a knee replacement.
