Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Knee And Hip Replacement Surgery
Over the years, joint replacement techniques and instrumentation have undergone countless improvements. The Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology is an example of how technology is transforming the way joint replacement surgeries are being performed.
When we hear ‘robotic-arm assisted technology’, it’s important to understand that the Mako Robotic-Arm doesn’t actually perform the surgery. Surgery is performed by an orthopaedic surgeon who uses the Mako system software to pre-plan our surgery. The surgeon will guide the Mako robotic-arm to remove diseased bone and cartilage. Then the surgeon will insert the implant.
Mako Technology was designed to help surgeons provide patients with a personalized surgical experience based on their specific diagnosis and anatomy. It is minimally invasive and bone sparing, with minimal tissue trauma for faster recovery.
Benefits
- Smaller incisions
- Rapid recovery
- Precise placement of the implant
- Reduced injury to adjacent tissues
- Increased longevity of the implant
