Mako Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

For some, the thought of living with their knee discomfort may seem more comfortable than the pain of a mako partial knee replacement surgery. However, our highly rated orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills uses the latest technology to give patients a personalized and less invasive surgical experience. With the Mako Robotic-Arm, Dr. Patel can design a personalized plan based on the patient’s diagnosis and anatomy.

How Mako Partial Knee Replacement Works

Following a CT scan of a patient’s knee, Dr. Patel loads the 3D image into the Mako System software to create a pre-operative plan. This approach to a partial knee replacement allows the surgeon to accurately determine the damaged area of the knee while sparing the healthy bone.

During surgery, Dr. Patel uses the Mako Robotic-Arm to precisely place the partial implant within the boundaries determined by the Mako Software System. The system allows Dr. Patel to make adjustments during surgery to ensure that every aspect of the process will enhance the patient’s mobility.

After surgery, the ultimate goal is to improve the patient’s movement capabilities. As part of a patient’s recovery, Dr. Patel may review a post-operative x-ray with the patient to guarantee the knee implant is functioning correctly.

Overall, the advantage of a Mako partial knee replacement means the patient will be guaranteed a personalized and precise surgical experience with the latest orthopedic technology and the top-rated orthopedic surgeon in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.
