Mako Robotic Arm Surgery
Knee and hip problems don’t have to hold you back: There’s a minimally invasive option to help relieve knee and hip pain. Saint Francis Hospital-Memphis is the first in Memphis to offer the Mako partial and total knee applications.
Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery is a minimally invasive joint replacement surgery technique for adults with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis. Mako is performed
using a highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm system. This system enables the surgeon to create a customized surgery plan that includes optimized implant positioning using a CT scan of the patient’s knee. During the surgery, the surgeon
uses feedback from the robotic arm to make real-time adjustments for a more accurate and successful surgery.
Compared to traditional knee and hip replacement surgery, the Mako system potentially offers:
- Reduced pain
- Minimal hospitalization
- More rapid recovery
- Less implant wear and loosening
- Smaller scar
- Better motion and a more natural feeling knee
