Are all surgeons trained to perform the MIS Knee Joint Replacement technique? Is there a steep learning curve in learning how to perform this type of surgery?
No, all surgeons are not trained. However, Stryker offers an extensive training program for surgeons and more surgeons are learning to do MIS Knee Joint Replacement every day. This program includes observation of MIS surgeries, interactive computer based training, and clinical training. The learning curve is not overly steep and much of the technique and instrumentation is very similar to what is used for conventional knee replacement.
