Your joint replacement should be as unique as you are. Mako SmartRobotics™ combines CT-based 3D planning with AccuStop™ haptic technology to help your surgeon personalize every step of your hip or knee replacement. At Victoria Orthopedic Center, advanced precision and compassionate care go hand in hand.
Mako SmartRobotics™ is a robotic arm assisted surgery system designed to help surgeons plan and perform personalized joint replacement with a higher level of precision. Before your procedure, a CT scan creates a detailed 3D model of your specific bone structure, joint geometry, and surrounding soft tissue, allowing your surgeon to map the ideal implant position and alignment tailored to your unique anatomy. This means the surgery is done virtually before setting foot in the operating room, thus decreasing actual surgical time.
During surgery, AccuStop™ haptic technology provides real time guidance, assisting the robotic arm in preparing bone and placing the implant within pre planned boundaries while helping protect nearby healthy tissue. Your surgeon remains in full control at every stage, with the Mako system serving as a precision enhancing tool delivering a personalized approach rather than a one size fits all solution.
Utilizes CT-based 3D planning to assist your surgeon with precise component positioning, alignment, and leg length tailored to your hip anatomy. In clinical studies, Mako Total Hip demonstrated a more natural feeling joint, reduced risk of dislocation, and greater preservation of healthy bone compared to manual hip replacement.
Dr. Williams works closely with patients to determine whether robotic-arm assisted joint replacement is appropriate based on their condition, lifestyle, and goals.
Mako SmartRobotics™ is a robotic-arm assisted surgery system that combines 3D CT-based planning with AccuStop™ haptic technology. It is designed to help surgeons personalize joint replacement procedures and position implants with a higher degree of accuracy compared to manual techniques. More than 1.5 million Mako procedures have been performed worldwide.
No. Your surgeon is in complete control throughout the entire procedure. The Mako system is a tool that assists your surgeon by providing a detailed 3D surgical plan and real-time guidance during the operation. The robotic arm does not move on its own or make independent decisions.
Before surgery, a CT scan creates a 3D model of your joint. Your surgeon uses this model to plan the optimal implant size, position, and alignment for your specific anatomy. During the procedure, AccuStop™ haptic technology helps the surgeon stay within the planned boundaries, supporting a more personalized outcome.
Depending on the injury and diagnosis, Mako SmartRobotics™ may be used for total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, or total hip replacement. Your surgeon will determine whether robotic-arm assisted technology is appropriate for your condition.
Mako SmartRobotics™ has been used in over 1.5 million procedures across 45 countries. As with any surgical procedure, joint replacement carries risks. Your surgeon will discuss the benefits and potential risks during your consultation. For additional safety information, visit patients.stryker.com.
In most cases, insurance coverage for a Mako procedure is the same as for traditional joint replacement. Our team will work with your insurance provider to verify your benefits and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs before your procedure is scheduled.
