    • Shoulder including total shoulder replacement
    • Hip including total hip replacement
    • Knee including total knee replacement

  • Stryker® Mako® Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology is available:

    Technology is transforming the way joint replacement surgeries are being performed.

    We use the Stryker Mako® Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology for the following procedures:

    • Total Knee Replacement (TKR) – the most frequent surgery with this technology, the Mako robot offers the benefits of more precision and shorter recovery time
    • Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) – partial knee replacements might be an option for younger people, due to the ability to more precisely place the implant and provide a longer-lasting joint replacement

  • Here is how the Mako robot works to provide greater precision and better results:

    • BEFORE SURGERY: A CT scan of your knee is used to generate a 3-D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This model is loaded into the Mako robot software and used by your surgeon to create your personalized pre-operative plan.
    • IN THE OPERATING ROOM: Your surgeon will use the Mako robot to assist in performing your surgery based on your personalized plan. The surgeon will guide the robotic arm within the pre-defined area once ready for implant, using the robot for more accurate implant placement and alignment that will ultimately lead to improved function.
    • AFTER SURGERY: Your healthcare team will help get you back to your normal lifestyle and closely monitor your condition and progress.
