MAKO robotic knee replacement uses advanced CT-based 3D modeling and robotic arm assistance to achieve unprecedented precision in both total and partial knee replacement surgery. The MAKO system creates a virtual 3D model of your knee anatomy before surgery, allowing your surgeon to plan the exact size, position, and alignment of your knee implant. During surgery, the robotic arm provides haptic guidance that confines bone cuts to the pre-planned area, protecting ligaments and healthy bone.
Alaska patients report less postoperative pain, faster rehabilitation milestones, and a quicker return to activities like hiking and skiing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How precise is MAKO knee replacement?
The MAKO system achieves implant positioning accuracy within 1-2 degrees and 1mm of the surgical plan, which is significantly more precise than manual techniques.
