| The MAKO surgical robot is utilized in an outpatient surgical setting. The state-of-the-art robotic arm offers more accurate implant alignment and positioning and minimizes the incision required. Patients are able to restore their lifestyle, continue to play sports, and reduce their pain. To learn more about robot-assisted partial knee replacement, click here. |

| Robots have dramatically improved the accuracy of joint replacement procedures by merging CT computerized measurement data with surgical cutting burrs. In the past, surgeons used cutting guides, which at times could not be accurately adjusted in multiple planes on the operating table. Using CT images, a computer monitor, and a robotic arm, the surgeon can make adjustments on the screen before making an incision. Therefore, the surgical incisions can be much smaller, eliminating much of the post-operative pain from traditional open exposure surgery. The robotic accuracy addresses the criticisms that the small incisions made during minimally-invasive surgery (MIS) compromise the surgeon’s view. |
