The Mako Robot is the first and only robotic technology that can be used to assist with total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacement.

In such instances, traditional hip replacement with a conventional incision remains preferable, but robotic assistance can enhance recovery speed and patient satisfaction.

Nearly one million hip and knee replacement surgeries are performed annually, making it one of the most common elective procedures performed in the United States today.

Dr. Joshua Johnson uses a $1.2 million robotic arm at St. Clare Hospital in Lakewood to help him perform knee and hip joint replacement surgeries. Patients report less pain and great satisfaction.
