For individuals with inflammatory or non-inflammatory degenerative joint degeneration of the hip, Mako technology can be utilised in Hip Replacement treatment. To help you prepare ahead for your hip replacement, Mako technology offers 3-D models that are customised for each patient. This procedure is also minimally invasive as it is performed with the assistance of Mako SmartRobotics™ System controlled by surgeons. This allows them to make smaller and more precise incisions to access and remove the necessary parts of the damaged hip.
Hip replacement surgery requires utmost precision, but the distinct anatomical structure of the hip can be very subtle. Making an incision a fraction of an inch away from the intended site can cause damage to healthy tissue, which may lead to pain, instability, and even immobility. With the Mako SmartRobotics™ System and precisely controlled movements, surgeons can perform specifically tailored surgeries suited to the unique needs of a patient’s anatomical hip structure. This can lead to optimal recovery with minimal intervention and damage, allowing patients to get back on their feet in no time.
