MAKOplasty® Knee Replacement

What is MAKOplasty Total Knee?

Mako Total Knee is the latest technology in total knee replacement which combines Stryker’s advanced robotic technology with its clinically proven GetAroundKnee (Triathlon Total Knee System) enabling surgeons to have a more predictable surgical experience with increased accuracy.

What is Mako Total Knee used for?

It is designed to relieve the pain caused by knee joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis providing patients with a personalized surgical experience based on their specific diagnosis and anatomy.

What are the advantages of Mako Total Knee?

  • Superior implant design when compared to traditional knee implants that promotes natural circular motion requiring less muscular effort to flex the knee
  • Precise pre-operative planning using virtual 3D model
  • Accurate implant positioning using advanced robotic technology
  • Quick recovery with faster return to activities of daily living
  • Potentially longer lasting implant

How do you prepare for the surgery?

Prior to surgery, a CT scan of your knee joint will be performed that is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique knee anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako System software and is used by your surgeon to create your personalized pre-operative plan
