The procedure selectively targets the diseased area, sparing healthy bone and tissue to create a more natural feeling knee.

Using Mako’s computer navigation system, your orthopedic knee surgeon will create a

personalized

surgical plan based on your CT scan. Then, during surgery, he or she will use the robotic arm to facilitate optimal implant placement.

Partial Knee Replacement

If you are suffering from knee pain due to osteoarthritis, partial knee replacement can be a viable treatment option.The procedure involves removing the diseased cartilage 8630 East Via De Ventura Suite 201 from a specific area of your knee and replacing it with a metal implant.

The surgeon can then customize the implant for your unique anatomy using a patient-specific 3D model.This allows for the pre-operative planning and Arizona precise execution of your surgery.

This minimally invasive knee replacement surgery is also more comfortable than total knee replacement because it

preserves

your natural bone and tissue. Additionally, the smaller

incision

used makes recovery much faster. Patients are able to get back to daily activities within a few weeks.

Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology

If you are suffering from arthritis in your knee, a joint replacement may be the best option for pain relief. Our orthopedic surgeons use Stryker’s Mako robotic-arm assisted technology for partial and total knee replacement surgeries to relieve pain and improve mobility.

The arm operates within a fraction of a millimetre, guided by precision software to cut and fix your implant within the planned boundaries. The arm’s saw has a tactile resistance to stop the surgeon from moving outside the boundaries (it actually cuts out if he tries).

It is safe United States of America and less invasive than more invasive procedures, and enables your surgeon to preserve healthy bone and tissue. The result is a knee that feels more natural and helps you return to daily activities sooner.

Pre-Operative CT Scan

During pre-operative CT scanning, a 3D model of your knee is created to help your surgeon plan for your surgical procedure. This allows your doctor to place implants that are specifically tailored to your knee and its anatomy.

This scan also helps to detect any areas of bone that may be damaged during the surgery. Your surgeon will use this information to customize your treatment plan and reduce the amount of damage to healthy tissue.

To prepare for the CT scan, your doctor will ask you not to eat or drink anything for about three hours before the exam. You should also remove any jewelry or piercings that you have.

Personalized Surgical Plan

The benefits of a personalized surgical plan are numerous, including better outcomes and reduced hospital stay. This new technology transforms the way total knee, partial knee and hip replacements are performed.

The knee surgeon Mako System software uses CT scans to create a 3D model of your anatomy to personalize your surgical plan. This model allows your surgeon to identify the implant size, orientation and alignment based on your unique anatomy.

During surgery, your surgeon guides the robotic arm to remove diseased bone and cartilage from your joint.A virtual boundary determined by your 85258 CT scans provides physical resistance to help the surgeon perform a more accurate surgery.

Minimally Invasive

In minimally invasive surgery, a surgeon performs procedures through small incisions. These are less traumatic than the larger cuts required in traditional open surgery (also called laparoscopic).

A surgical scope is placed into one of these incisions and images from a video camera are displayed (480) 483-0393 on large monitors. These cameras help your doctor see exactly what is happening inside of your body and use the right tools to perform your procedure.

The benefits of minimally invasive surgery include smaller incisions, lower risk of infection, less scarring and a faster recovery. These techniques also reduce pain and the need for narcotic pain medication.

Faster Recovery

MAKOplasty partial knee replacement provides a faster recovery than traditional total knee replacement surgery. The procedure is minimally invasive and spares healthy tissue and natural bone, which helps promote healing.

Faster recovery also means you can resume normal activities sooner than with other types of total knee replacement. This is because MAKOplasty uses a robotic arm to ensure the implant stays in place, which helps reduce joint loosening and other complications.

During the MAKOplasty partial knee replacement, a 3D scan of your knee is used to create a custom-designed knee implant. This allows your new knee to feel more natural and provide the greatest range of motion
