Our Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery system transforms the way knee replacement and hip replacement surgery is performed and helps patients at any age reduce pain, improve function and maximize quality of life.

How Mako Technology Works

Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology provides you with a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy. First, a CAT scan of the diseased hip or knee joint is taken. This scan is uploaded into the Mako System software, where a 3D model of your hip or knee is created. This 3D model is used to pre-plan and assist your surgeon in performing your joint replacement procedure.

Key Benefits of Mako robotic-arm surgery include:

Patient Benefits: Relieves pain caused by joint degeneration, shorter hospital stays and recovery times and improved patient outcomes.
Enhanced Surgeon Capabilities: Allows surgeons to create a patient-specific 3D plan for joint replacement with a more predictable experience and high degree of accuracy.
