MAKO SmartRobotics

MAKO SmartRobotics™ brings a new era of precision, personalisation, and safety to total knee and hip replacement surgery offering patients faster recovery, improved outcomes, and greater confidence in their care.

Robotic technology is transforming joint replacement surgery by providing surgeons with advanced tools for planning and executing procedures with unmatched accuracy. The MAKO SmartRobotics™ system uses 3D imaging, real-time data, and haptic (touch-sensitive) feedback to help surgeons place implants more precisely than ever before. This precision leads to better joint function, less pain, and a faster return to daily activities compared to traditional methods.

 

Benefits of Mako SmartRobotics™ Assisted Surgery

High accuracy & precision

  • Precise implant positioning for improved knee function and long-term durability

Reduced risk and complications

  • Smaller incisions and reduced blood loss
  • Lower infection risk
  • Minimal disruption to surrounding healthy tissues

 

MAKO SmartRobotics™ Surgery Process

  • You'll have a CT scan of your joint before your surgery.
  • Using this scan, a 3D virtual model of your knee or hip is created.
  • Your surgeon uses this model to plan the surgery and select the best implant size and positioning tailored to your unique anatomy.
  • The MAKO robotic arm is set up and calibrated using your 3D model.
  • Your surgeon guides the robotic arm, which helps keep the surgical tools within the precise boundaries of the plan.
  • The system provides real-time feedback and assists in protecting healthy bone and tissue.
  • The damaged bone and cartilage are carefully removed.
  • The artificial implant is positioned exactly as planned with robotic assistance.
  • The surgeon checks alignment, stability, and function.
  • The incision is closed, and you are moved to recovery.
  • Most patients begin gentle movement and physical therapy soon after surgery to support healing and restore mobility.

Who Is This Surgery For?

Adults with advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis of the knee or hip who have not improved with non-surgical treatments.

Patients experiencing persistent pain, stiffness, or loss of function affecting daily life.

Individuals with complex joint anatomy or previous surgeries who may benefit from enhanced precision.

Those seeking a personalised, data-driven approach to joint replacement.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. Studies show complication rates are comparable to or lower than traditional surgery, with added safety features like haptic feedback to protect healthy tissue.

Most adults needing knee or hip replacement are eligible. Your surgeon will review your medical history, imaging, and overall health to confirm suitability.

The technology involves higher upfront costs, but many insurance plans cover robotic-assisted joint replacement. Discuss financial details with our care team.

The system has been used worldwide for over 19 years, with more than 2 million procedures performed.

Recovery is similar to traditional joint replacement, but many patients report less pain and improved function in the early stages. Physical therapy remains essential.
