Robotic Partial Knee Replacement with MAKO SmartRobotics™

Revolutionizing Precision in Joint Care

If knee pain is affecting your daily life and conservative treatments haven't provided relief, you may be a candidate for partial knee replacement. Thanks to cutting-edge technology like MAKO SmartRobotics™, this procedure has become more precise, minimally invasive, and tailored to each patient's anatomy.

What is a Partial Knee Replacement?

Unlike a total knee replacement, partial knee replacement focuses only on the damaged portion of the knee - either the medial (inner), lateral (outer), or patellofemoral (kneecap) compartment. This allows for preservation of healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments, potentially resulting in more natural knee motion post-surgery.

Introducing MAKO SmartRobotics™

MAKO SmartRobotics™ is a robotic-arm assisted technology that combines:

  • 3D CT-based planning
  • Accurate implant placement
  • Real-time intraoperative feedback

This innovative platform allows surgeons to create a personalized surgical plan before entering the operating room. During surgery, MAKO provides precise guidance to help the surgeon operate within the defined boundaries, improving implant alignment and reducing soft tissue damage.

Key Benefits of MAKO-Assisted Partial Knee Replacement

Enhanced Precision

MAKO's 3D imaging helps map your unique anatomy, ensuring more accurate cuts and implant positioning.

Minimally Invasive

Smaller incisions and targeted tissue work mean reduced trauma and faster healing.

Faster Recovery

Patients often experience shorter hospital stays, quicker rehabilitation, and a faster return to daily activities.

Better Outcomes

The accuracy of MAKO SmartRobotics™ contributes to improved function and satisfaction with long-term joint performance.

Joint Preservation

As only the damaged part of the knee is replaced, it helps maintain the natural feel of the joint.

Who is a Candidate?

MAKO Partial Knee Replacement may be ideal for patients with:

  • Early to mid-stage osteoarthritis limited to one compartment of the knee
  • Localized cartilage damage
  • Chronic knee pain not responding to non-surgical treatments

A thorough evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon is essential to determine suitability.
