We've moved beyond the idea that one size fits all when it comes to joint replacements. Precision and personalization make the difference. That's why we've invested in the Mako robotic arm. Its advanced imaging and precision technology facilitate better results. If you're planning a hip or knee replacement, Mako helps your surgeon plan and perform your procedure based on your unique bone structure.
How It Works
To begin the process of a Mako joint replacement surgery, you will get a 3D scan of your joint. This image helps your doctor understand your unique anatomy, allowing him to make a surgery plan tailored just for you. During surgery, the Mako robotic arm provides real-time guidance, helping your surgeon place your new joint with precision while protecting healthy tissue.
Advanced Technology. Better Results.
- Custom surgical planning: 3D modeling enables your surgeon to make a personalized plan, ensuring your new joint aligns well and works smoothly.
- Better precision: With real-time pictures, Mako helps your surgeon position your new implant right where it needs to be.
- Less invasive: Small tools guided by the robotic arm allow for smaller cuts with less internal disruption.
- Smoother recovery: Smaller cuts often mean less bleeding, less pain after surgery and a quicker recovery.
The Benefits
The Mako system enables smaller incisions and minimal tissue disruption, which may contribute to:
- Reduced blood loss
- Less pain after surgery
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster recovery
- Less narcotic use
Mako robotic-assisted surgery offers a more precise, personalized approach to joint replacement. Smaller tools and real-time guidance help reduce pain, protect healthy tissue and speed recovery.
