This state-of-the-art system uses a 3D virtual model of a patient’s unique anatomy and a robotic arm to help orthopedic surgeons plan and perform total knee, total hip and partial knee replacements.

The Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System gives orthopedic surgeons the ability to: 

  • Personalize patient-specific, 3-D bone models.
  • Modify the procedure during the operation to help restore natural anatomy.
  • Control a robotic arm in bone preparation.

Benefits of robotic surgery

In clinical and laboratory studies, the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System was shown to help surgeons perform their surgical plans more accurately.

This increased level of precision and customization leads to the following benefits for patients:

  • Less trauma to surrounding tissue.
  • Shorter hospital stays.
  • Less post-operative pain.
