How Mako Robotic Knee Replacement Is Performed
The state-of-the-art Mako System assists your surgeon before and during surgery to optimize outcomes for your new knee. Beginning with a CT scan of your knee, your surgeon will use Mako's software to preplan your surgery based on a 3D model of your joint.
Your surgeon can input your personalized surgical plan in the Mako System to use during surgery. Your surgeon will also use the system and robotic assistance to accurately remove damaged tissues in predefined areas and place implants precisely as well as adjust in real time as needed.
Benefits of Mako Robotic Knee Replacement
The Mako robotic-arm and integrated planning and guidance technology helps your surgeon provide the highest level of surgical accuracy. Benefits of knee replacement using this system include:
- Implants designed for more natural-feeling knee function and movement
- Reduced postoperative pain and a faster recovery than traditional joint replacements
- Customized surgical plans based on your unique knee anatomy for a longer-lasting knee replacement
- Reduced risk of complications with planning, data, and minimized healthy tissue removal
Following your surgery, Dr. Tannenbaum will have a postoperative care and management plan designed for you. While each patient’s recovery will vary, you will need to follow your surgeon’s directions and guidance to ensure you have the safest and fastest rehabilitation and recovery.
