Completely replacing a patient’s knee is a serious decision requiring expert surgical precision. With the advanced technology of the Mako Robotic-Arm, patients can have a more personalized and accurate total knee replacement experience. The top orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills will design an individualized surgical plan based on a patient’s specific diagnosis and anatomy using the Mako System software.
Understanding How the Mako System Works
After a CT scan of a patient’s knee, the orthopedic surgeon loads the 3D image into the Mako System software to generate a pre-operative plan. This approach allows the surgeon to know exactly where to remove damaged tissue, prepare the bone, and precisely place the implant.
During surgery, the Mako System allows the surgeon to adjust as needed and accurately insert the knee implant within the predetermined boundaries using the Mako Robotic-Arm. The advanced capabilities guarantee the replacement not only goes smoothly, but also prepares the patient for recovery success.
After the total knee replacement, patients will set physical therapy goals with the orthopedic surgeon and his staff based on their individual recovery needs. Ultimately, the goal is to help patients get back to life with better movement and eliminate any previous knee discomfort.
The advantage of a Mako total knee replacement means the patient will receive a personalized and specific surgical experience with the latest orthopedic technology and the top rated orthopedic surgeon in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.
