About the Robot
MakoTM robotic-arm assisted technology provides the patient with a personalized surgical plan based on their unique anatomy. A 3D model of the patient’s hip or knee will be used to pre-plan and assist the surgeon in performing total hip replacement or partial knee replacement.

 Mako can be used for Total Hip Replacement (THR), which is a procedure designed for patients who suffer from non-inflammatory or inflammatory degenerative joint disease of the hip.

Mako can also be used for partial knee replacement (PKR), which is a procedure designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis (OA) in one or two compartments of the knee. By selectively targeting the part of the patient’s knee damaged by OA, the surgeon can replace the diseased part of the patient’s knee while helping to spare the healthy bone and ligaments surrounding it.

The Mako robotic-arm technology provides the surgeon with a patient-specific 3-D model to pre-plan the partial knee or hip replacement. During surgery, the surgeon guides the Stryker robotic-arm based on the patient-specific plan. This allows the surgeon to remove only the diseased bone, preserving healthy bone and soft tissue, and assists the surgeon in positioning the implant based on the patient’s anatomy.

How it works
Plan Personalized for the Patient
It all begins with a CT scan of the joint that is used to generate a 3D virtual model of the patient’s unique anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako system software and is used to create a personalized pre-operative plan.

In the Operating Room
In the operating room, the surgeon will use Mako to assist in performing the surgery based on a personalized pre-operative plan. The Mako system also allows the surgeon to make adjustments to the plan during surgery as needed. When the surgeon prepares the bone for the implant, the Mako system guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area and helps prevent the surgeon from moving outside the planned boundaries. This helps provide more accurate placement and alignment of the implant.
