Southwest Florida surgeon performing minimally invasive procedure that offers quicker recovery and less pain
NAPLES & FORT MYERS (February 20, 2025) Orthopedic Center of Florida (OCF) is excited to announce that it now offers the Jiffy Knee procedure – a minimally invasive alternative knee replacement procedure that spares muscles and tendons from major incisions. This often leads to a faster recovery and reduced post-operative pain.
Mark Farmer, MD, a renowned orthopedic surgeon at OCF, is offering the Jiffy Knee procedure to patients in southwest Florida and beyond. He is trained and certified using specialized instruments that are designed to lift and move muscles rather than cutting into them while performing the surgery. This minimally invasive technique results in less disruption to the body, as well as reduced swelling and scarring. Together with innovative anesthesia techniques we can significantly alter the recovery and reduce postoperative pain.
Patients who undergo the Jiffy Knee procedure can often return to work and recreational activities much sooner than traditional surgery, which would typically involve making major incisions into the quadriceps tendon. Recovery time with traditional surgery can take up to a year.
“With the Jiffy Knee procedure, we’re not just transforming the way knee replacements are performed,” said Dr. Farmer, “We’re also altering the patient experience. By minimizing disruption to the body and tapping into advanced techniques, patients can recover faster, experience less pain, and return to their daily lives sooner, all while achieving the same excellent long-term results of a traditional knee surgery.”
Dr. Farmer specializes in arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the shoulder and knee. He has extensive expertise in treating fractures and joint-related conditions and has earned a reputation as a leader in the field.
