Is a Mako® Robotic Joint Replacement for You?
The Mako robotic-assisted surgical system is used in joint replacement to promote accuracy and control and to spare any healthy bones or ligaments from being removed.
At The Orthopaedic & Fracture Clinic, fellowship-trained, board-certified joint replacement surgeon Kyle C. Swanson, MD, FAAOS, offers Mako joint replacement through our comprehensive joint replacement program, OrthoEdge, at River’s Edge Hospital.
In preoperative planning, the imaging software gives your joint replacement specialist the ability to create a personalized plan that meets your specific needs and to predefine the boundaries of your operation.
During surgery, the robotic assistance and intraoperative software help doctors perform complex techniques with enhanced precision and flexibility.
Mako robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements come with many benefits, including:
- Quicker recovery time
- Shorter hospital stay
- Improved joint mobility
- Minimal blood loss
- Preservation of healthy bone
