Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two different surgical approaches for total knee replacement surgery. The mini-midvastus approach involves cutting less of the thigh muscle (quadriceps) tendon than the classic approach (median parapatellar) in order to implant the knee components. Both will have the same skin incision.
