      A less invasive procedure.

      What is MAKOplasty®?
      MAKOplasty® is a robotic arm assisted partial knee resurfacing procedure designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis (OA). By selectively targeting the part of your knee damaged by OA, your surgeon can resurface your knee while sparing the healthy bone and ligaments surrounding it.
      MAKOplasty® Partial Knee Resurfacing Can:

      • Enable surgeons to precisely resurface only the arthritic portion of the knee

      • Preserve healthy tissue and bone

      • Facilitate optimal implant positioning to result in a more natural feeling knee following surgery

      • Result in a more rapid recovery and shorter hospital stay than traditional total knee replacement surgery
