Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery
I perform Mako assisted total hip replacements and Mako assisted partial (unicompartment) knee replacements.
Mako allows a more predictable surgical experience when performing joint replacement surgery. The Mako System is designed to enhance accuracy and reproducibility by minimizing the margin of error in component placement.
Mako is backed by more than 50 published peer reviewed clinical publications, plus more than 350 scientific abstracts accepted at peer reviewed scientific conferences.
Mako Benefits:
Enhanced Planning:
Patient-specific pre-operative plan enables more accurate implant positioning. A pre-operative CAT scan is completed and is segmented to create a 3D model of your anatomy. An individualized pre-operative plan is created and implemented in surgery.
Dynamic Joint Balancing:
Surgeon-controlled intra-operative adjustments can be made to optimize implant placement. Data is collected intra-operatively and applied to the pre-operative virtual model. Plans can be adjusted intra-operatively based off intra-operative data to appropriately balance the joint and place the final implants.
