Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology
UofL Health – Jewish Hospital offers state of the art Mako robotic-arm assisted surgeries for hip replacement. The Jewish Hospital Total Joint Replacement Program has performed more than 3,000 Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement procedures.
During surgery, the Mako system accurately determines the implant size and provides exact placement of the implant based on the individual patient’s bone anatomy. The robotic arm of the Mako system helps the surgeon to make precise bone cuts and place the hip implant to exactly match the patient’s anatomy based on the preoperative plan.
