MAKOplasty® for the Knee
By selectively targeting the damaged part of your knee, your OrthoConnecticut surgeon can resurface the joint while sparing the surrounding healthy bone and ligaments.
Unlike more invasive procedures MAKOplasty can often be performed through an incision of just four to six inches. Because MAKOplasty helps preserve healthy bone and tissue, and because it helps position the implant with exceptional precision, patients may ultimately experience a more natural feeling knee.
MAKOplasty® for the Hip
Patients in need of hip replacement may be a candidate for MAKOplasty® Total Hip Arthroplasty. The innovative robotic technology provides a patient-specific 3-D model to assist your surgeon in pre-operative planning. During the procedure, real-time feedback (tactile, visual and auditory) assists your surgeon in preparing the hip joint and placing the implants in the desired orientation with unprecedented accuracy.
When MAKOplasty is appropriate, it can help your surgeon achieve optimal precision for faster recovery and more reliable outcomes.
