Muscle sparing knee replacement uses the subvastus surgical approach to access the knee joint by lifting the quadriceps muscle rather than cutting through it. This technique keeps all four quadriceps muscles intact as a single unit, which can lead to less postoperative pain, reduced blood loss, earlier mobility, and a faster overall recovery compared to the traditional medial parapatellar approach. Dr. Calendine explains how combining the subvastus approach with robotic assisted surgery delivers both soft tissue protection and precision bone preparation, who qualifies for the procedure, what to expect during recovery, and why this pairing is changing outcomes for knee replacement patients in Middle Tennessee.

Blog Grid Summary — Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Shoulder pain when reaching overhead is one of the most common orthopedic complaints — and shoulder impingement syndrome is the leading cause, accounting for nearly half of all shoulder pain cases.
