Our robotic orthopedic surgeons have years of experience in performing minimally invasive, innovative and reliable hip and knee replacements with Stryker MAKO Robotic Arm-Assisted technology.

We were among the first in Orange County to offer this technology and have remained at the forefront of advances in surgical techniques and technology to make these procedures increasingly safe and effective.

Advantages of MAKO robotic-arm assisted hip and knee replacement over traditional arthroplasty stem from greater visualization and thus improved precision in implant placement. Optimal outcomes are achieved by:

  • Reducing risk of hip dislocation
  • Reducing risk of revisions
  • Reducing hospital readmissions
  • Preserving healthy tissue, bone and blood, resulting in speedier full recoveries
  • Providing greater post-operative pain relief
  • Achieving greater accuracy in leg length equality
  • Aiming for longer implant survival

MAKO provides patients and their surgeons with a personalized surgical plan based on the patient’s unique anatomy. A CT scan of the diseased hip or knee joint is uploaded into the MAKO system software to create a 3D model of the joint. The surgeon uses the model to pre-plan the procedure. Having this additional information enables the surgeon to determine the optimal size, placement and positioning of the implant.
