This advanced system is the first and only robotic technology that can be used for total knee, total hip, and partial knee replacements, providing patients with personalized and precise treatment options.
What is the Mako Robotic Joint Replacement System?
The Mako System utilizes CT-based 3D modeling of bone anatomy to create a personalized surgical plan tailored to each patient’s unique diagnosis and anatomy. This cutting-edge orthopedic technology enables surgeons to identify the implant size, orientation, and alignment accurately. Additionally, the Mako System allows for real-time adjustments to the surgical plan during the procedure, ensuring optimal outcomes.
What are the Benefits of Mako Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery?
Robotic joint replacement offers a more precise and minimally invasive approach compared to traditional surgery. This translates to quicker recovery, less pain and scarring, and potentially shorter hospital stays. The technology allows our board-certified orthopedic surgeons to personalize the procedure to your unique anatomy, potentially leading to longer-lasting joint function and a better overall experience. Robotic knee replacement surgery offers numerous advantages over traditional techniques, including:
- Minimal trauma to surrounding tissues
- Faster recovery time
- Reduced pain
- Minimal scarring
- Outpatient surgery
- Reduced blood loss and need for transfusion
- Improved long-term outcomes
Mako Smart Robotics™ allows our expert orthopedic surgeons to tailor procedures to our patients’ unique anatomy. Robotic joint replacement enhances joint function longevity and overall patient satisfaction, making it a superior option for those seeking effective and efficient joint replacement solutions.
Mako Robotics for Hip and Knee Replacement with Suburban Orthopaedics
Each patient is unique and may experience joint pain for different reasons. It’s important to discuss with us the cause of your hip and knee pain so that you can be informed about the available treatment options. Pain from arthritis and joint degeneration can be constant or intermittent, occur with movement or after rest, and be localized in one spot or distributed across multiple body areas. Many patients typically attempt medication and other conservative treatments to address their hip and knee pain. If you have not found sufficient relief with these treatment options, you may be a candidate for Mako Total Hip and Knee replacement, which could relieve your hip and knee pain.
Am I a Good Candidate for MAKO Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery?
Robotic joint replacement offers a more precise and minimally invasive approach compared to traditional surgery. This means quicker recovery, less pain and scarring, and potentially shorter hospital stays. The technology allows surgeons to customize the procedure to your unique anatomy, potentially leading to longer-lasting joint function and a better overall experience. Your orthopedic surgeon will look at critical factors, including:
- Significant, ongoing joint pain affecting daily activities.
- Difficulty moving the joint or performing routine tasks.
- Previous diagnoses such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or vascular issues
- How effective has previous treatment been, including medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes?

Mako Total Hip Replacement Testimonial
Total Hip Replacement
Mako is an innovative solution for many suffering from painful arthritis of the hip.
Scan. It all starts with a CT scan so your surgeon can know more about your anatomy.
Plan. The CT scan is used to create a 3D CT-based model of your hip. Your surgeon uses this 3D model to create a personalized surgical plan and assist your surgeon in performing your hip replacement procedure.
Mako Can. In the operating room, your surgeon follows your personalized surgical plan while preparing the bone for the implant. The surgeon guides Mako’s robotic arm within the predefined area, and Mako’s AccuStopTM technology helps the surgeon stay within the planned boundaries that were defined when the personalized preoperative plan was created.
It’s important to understand that the surgery is performed by an orthopaedic surgeon, who guides Mako’s robotic arm during the surgery to position the implant in the knee and hip joints. Mako does not perform surgery, make decisions on its own or move without the surgeon guiding it. Mako also allows your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed.
Mako for Total Hip replacement is a surgical procedure intended for patients who suffer from noninflammatory or inflammatory degenerative joint disease (DJD). Some forms of DJD include osteoarthritis (OA), post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), avascular necrosis (AVN) and hip dysplasia.
