Our expert orthopedic team has performed thousands of Mako procedures to enhance precision, personalize your surgical plan, and support a faster recovery, resulting in better outcomes.

It’s common for patients to try medication and other conservative treatments to treat their hip or knee pain. If you haven't experienced adequate relief with those treatment options, you may be a candidate for total or partial joint replacement using Mako, which can help treat:

Personalized surgical experience

Because a surgeon creates a 3D model of your anatomy, the surgery is tailored specifically for you.

It's important to understand that the Mako procedure is performed by an orthopedic surgeon who guides the robotic arm during the surgery. The robotic arm does not perform surgery, make decisions, or move without your surgeon’s guidance.

Before surgery

First, a 3D CT scan of the diseased knee joint is taken. This CT scan is uploaded into the Mako System software, where a 3D model of your knee is created. This 3D model is used to pre-plan and assist your surgeon in performing your total knee replacement.

During surgery

In the operating room, your surgeon follows your personalized surgical plan. The Mako’s robotic arm assists the surgeon for precise bone removal and implant placement as they make real-time adjustments during the procedure to ensure accuracy.

After surgery

Patients who had surgery with assistance from Mako system report faster recovery, reduced pain, and enhanced mobility.
