How Does Mako Robotic-Assisted Surgery Work?

It starts with a detailed CT scan, which creates a 3D picture of your joint. This image helps your doctor plan surgery with incredible accuracy, so your new joint has the best possible fit. During the procedure, your surgeon uses the Mako robotic arm to guide each step with real-time feedback. This method helps protect healthy tissue and ensures your implant is precisely where it needs to be.
