Total Knee

Mako SmartRobotics™ Total Knee Replacement

You may be a candidate for Mako Total Knee replacement if you have severe osteoarthritis and pain throughout your knee that makes regular tasks like tying your shoes, bending over or walking a challenge.

When preparing for a total knee replacement, your surgeon will work with you to understand your pain and map your knee anatomy to develop a surgical plan for positioning your implant. The goal with any knee replacement surgery is to ensure our patients receive the best possible outcomes, and with the guidance of the Mako system, patients experience better outcomes and greater satisfaction.

In the operating room, your surgeon guides Mako's robotic arm within the predefined area programed into the software prior to your surgery.

On the screen, your surgeon can see 3D images of your joint from a variety of angles to make any necessary adjustments. Virtual guides help surgeons know exactly how much to cut, which protects your healthy bone and preserves soft tissue. With less bone getting removed, recovery time is greatly improved, and patients usually experience less pain.
