Explanation

"MIS technique" stands for "Minimally Invasive Surgery technique". This is a type of surgery that is done with small cuts instead of one large opening. Because the cuts are smaller, it often means less pain, less blood loss, and a quicker recovery time for the patient. This technique can be used in different types of surgeries, including knee replacements.
