How Does Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery Work?
✔ This 3D model takes your specific anatomy into account, and is used to pre-plan and assist your surgeon in performing your joint replacement procedure
✔ A 3D model is created of your hip or knee using a CT scan as a guide
✔ During surgery, your surgeon guides the robotic arm in the pre-defined area, and the robotic arm helps the surgeon stay within the planned boundaries
✔ The robotic arm allows only the diseased bone to be removed
✔ The robot helps to evaluate alignment of your new hip or knee replacement
✔ After surgery, you’re up and walking the same day and most patients are home within 48 hours
