<br/><br/> This prospective study compared the early functional results  of the subvastus approach to the medial parapatllar in 40 patients  of primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty, divided into two  groups, each with 20 patients. Assessment of the results was  based on the clinical and functional knee society score at  preoperative, two weeks and 3,6, and 12 months postoperatively.  The potential benefits of the subvastus approach: less damage to  the extensor mechanism and blood supply, less pain in the early  postoperative period, earlier SLR, earlier return of quadriceps  strength and shorter hospital stay. The subvastus approach is a  good alternative to the parapatellar in TKA
