In order to improve techniques of minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (IEAC) based on anatomical studies, we have developed a mathematical model and a computer program IEAC preoperative planning that takes into account the anthropometric data of the patient (body type, size patellar index Insall-Salvati), type and size of prosthesis and allows to calculate minimal incision and maximum elongation wound during surgery. Use of this software improves the accuracy of the planning and preparation of surgery, to improve the accuracy of implantation of the prosthesis.
