How Robotic Technology is Revolutionizing Total Knee & Hip Replacement

For decades, orthopedic surgeons relied on manual cutting guides and alignment rods to perform knee and hip replacements. While effective, human anatomical variation presented challenges in achieving millimeter-perfect implant balance.

Robotic-assisted surgery like the Mako system changes everything. Before stepping into the operating theatre, a 3D CT scan creates a virtual digital replica of your unique joint structure.

During surgery, the haptic robotic arm guides the surgeon to resurface only diseased bone within pre-defined virtual boundaries, completely preserving surrounding healthy ligaments and muscle soft tissue.

The result? Patients experience significantly less surgical inflammation, require minimal opioid pain management, and often walk independently within 12 to 24 hours after surgery.
