Τhe Mako Robotic Arm Assisted System, recently introduced at Hygeia Hospital, brings advanced robotic precision to knee and hip joint replacement procedures. Developed and manufactured in the United States, the system is designed to support highly accurate orthopedic surgery through robotic-arm assistance.
The technology assists specially trained orthopedic surgeons in performing partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, and total hip replacement, enabling controlled and reproducible execution throughout the procedure.
A key feature of the system is its ability to support joint-preserving knee surgery, allowing treatment of early-stage arthritis by replacing only the affected portion of the knee while preserving healthy bone and soft tissue. This targeted approach helps maintain joint function and reduces surgical impact.
Through systematic and personalized preoperative planning, combined with robotic-assisted execution, the Mako system enables precise anatomic implant placement. This high level of accuracy contributes to optimal joint alignment, stability, and mechanical balance.
These technical capabilities translate into important clinical benefits for patients, including smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, fewer complications, and faster recovery and rehabilitation, particularly in partial knee replacement procedures.
