Partial Knee Replacement

Mako can be used for partial knee replacement which is a procedure that replaces only the parts of the joint that are affected by osteoarthritis. It spares the healthy parts of the joint leaving the rest of the bone and ligaments to function normally. It is usually done with a smaller surgical approach and can lead to faster recovery and a higher overall level of function compared to total knee replacement.

How It Works

• 1

  Have a Plan Personalized for You

  It all begins with a CT scan of your joint that is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako system software and is used to create your personalized pre-operative plan

  In the Operating Room

  In the operating room, your surgeon will use Mako to assist in performing your surgery based on your personalized pre-operative plan. The Mako system also allows your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed. When the surgeon prepares the bone for the implant, the Mako system guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area and helps prevent the surgeon from moving outside the planned boundaries. This helps provide more accurate placement and alignment of your implant.

  After Surgery

  After surgery, your surgeon, nurses and physical therapists will set goals with you to get you back on the move. They will closely monitor your condition and progress. Your surgeon may review an x-ray of your new partial knee with you.
