What is Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Total Hip Replacement ?
MAKO robotic-arm assisted total hip replacement is a new type of hip replacement procedure that ensures perfect implant placement. With this procedure, a direct anterior approach is used to minimize surgical trauma, decrease post-surgery pain, and shorten recovery.The MAKO robotic arm helps surgeons:
Plan hip replacement surgery. MAKO software takes CT scan images and produces a 3D virtual hip model that the surgeon uses to plan surgery.
Perform hip replacement surgery. The surgeon controls the MAKO robotic arm to carefully remove damaged bone and precisely replace it with plastic and metal implant.
