Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology
State-of-the-art Mako robotic-arm assisted surgeries for hip and knee replacement procedures are offered at UofL Health – Jewish Hospital, UofL Health – South Hospital and UofL Health – Medical Center East. The Jewish Hospital Total Joint Replacement Program has performed nearly 5,000 Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement procedures.
The Mako system accurately determines the implant size and provides exact placement based on the individual patient’s bone anatomy. The use of intraoperative computer technology and robotic-assisted surgery for total joint replacement minimizes the risk of human error in implant size, placement and inadvertent soft tissue damage. This type of smart intraoperative technology also provides the surgeon with the ability to make any necessary adjustments during the procedure in real-time to achieve the target surgical goal.
ROSA Robotic Knee Replacement
UofL Health – Jewish Hospital also offers robotics-assisted knee replacement utilizing the ROSA Robotic System. The ROSA system allows surgeons to examine a 3D model of the knee through X-rays to plan out the surgery in advance.
