Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology for total hip replacement
We understand that making sure you know what to expect from the joint replacement
experience is important to you. Each patient is unique, and can experience
joint pain for different reasons. It’s important to talk to us about
the reason for your hip pain so you can understand the treatment options
available to you. Pain from arthritis and joint degeneration can be constant
or come and go, occur with movement or after a period of rest, or be located
in one spot or many parts of the body. It is common for patients to try
medication and other conservative treatments to treat their hip pain.
If you haven’t experienced adequate relief with those treatment
options, you may be a candidate for Mako Total Hip replacement, which
may provide you with relief from your hip pain.
How Mako Technology works
Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology provides you with a personalized surgical
plan based on your unique anatomy. First, a CT scan of the diseased joint
is taken. This CT scan is uploaded into the Mako System software, where
a 3D model of your hip is created. This 3D model is used to pre-plan and
assist your surgeon in performing your total hip replacement.
In the operating room, your surgeon follows your personalized surgical
plan while preparing the bone for the implant. The surgeon guides the
robotic-arm within the pre-defined area and the Mako System helps the
surgeon stay within the planned boundaries that were defined when the
personalized pre-operative plan was created. This helps to provide more
accurate placement and alignment of your implant.
Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Total Hip replacement is a surgical procedure
intended for patients who suffer from non-inflammatory or inflammatory
degenerative joint disease (DJD). Some forms of DJD include osteoarthritis
(OA), post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), avascular necrosis
(AVN) and hip dysplasia.
It’s important to understand that the surgery is performed by an
experienced orthopedic surgeon, who guides the surgeon-controlled robotic-arm
during the surgery to position the implant in the hip joint. The Mako
Robotic-Arm does not perform surgery, make decisions on its own, or move
without the surgeon guiding the robotic-arm. The Mako System also allows
your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed.
Our experienced team finds innovative ways to help joint replacement patients
recover from surgery and return to an independent lifestyle as quickly
as possible.
