If joint pain is limiting your mobility and keeping you from the activities you enjoy, it may be time to consider a more advanced solution: Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement. This innovative approach to hip and knee replacement offers greater precision, better alignment, and more consistent outcomes—leading to a smoother recovery and longer-lasting results. Learn how robotic technology can help you move with confidence and stay active on your terms.
Understanding Mako Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement system consists of a robotic arm, a 3D preoperative planning system, real-time navigation sensors, a surgeon-controlled interface, and specialized surgical instruments. The robotic arm helps the surgeon by guiding bone cuts while preventing unintended movements.
Key Benefits of Robotic Joint Replacement
- Unmatched Precision and Personalization: The Mako system allows surgeons to customize your joint replacement based on a detailed 3D scan of your joint. This precision ensures the implant is positioned optimally, leading to a more natural feel.1
- Less Discomfort and Faster Recovery: Because robotic-assisted surgery is minimally invasive, it results in smaller incisions, reduced trauma to surrounding tissues, and less post-operative discomfort. Patients often experience a quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional joint replacement methods.
- Improved Implant Longevity: Proper alignment is critical to the lifespan of a joint implant. Mako’s advanced technology enhances alignment and stability, helping to reduce wear and prolong the life of your joint replacement.
- Enhanced Stability and Mobility: By preserving healthy bone and soft tissue, robotic-assisted surgery provides better joint stability and range of motion, allowing patients to regain confidence in their movement.
Is Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement Right for You?
If you're living with severe arthritis, chronic hip or knee pain, or reduced mobility, robotic-assisted joint replacement may offer the relief you need. This advanced surgical option combines precision and personalized planning through Mako robotic technology. The best way to find out if you're a candidate is to consult with an experienced orthopedic surgeon who specializes in robotic-assisted procedures. With improved surgical accuracy, faster recovery, and restored mobility, you can return to the activities you enjoy with greater confidence.
