How It Works
Before surgery, your doctor uses with a CT scan of your joint, which is used to create a highly detailed 3D model of your unique anatomy. This model allows your surgeon to plan your procedure with exceptional precision—mapping out exactly where to remove damaged bone and how to position your implant for optimal alignment and function.
During surgery, the Mako robotic arm assists your surgeon by guiding instruments within the boundaries of the personalized plan. The system provides real-time feedback and resistance to help avoid unintended movements, ensuring that only the targeted areas are treated. This level of control helps preserve healthy bone and tissue, supports accurate implant placement, and contributes to a smoother recovery.
By combining advanced imaging, data-driven planning, and robotic precision, Mako helps deliver a joint replacement that feels more natural and lasts longer.
