Mako Robotic Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery involves the removal of arthritic bone and damaged cartilage and replacing them with hip implants that are designed to replicate the hip joint. If you haven’t experienced adequate relief with conservative treatment options, like heat or cold therapy, medication, or joint fluid supplements, your doctor may recommend Mako Robotic Total Hip replacement.
WHAT IS MAKO ROBOTIC TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT?
Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Total Hip replacement is a procedure designed for patients who suffer from the non-inflammatory or inflammatory degenerative joint disease of the hip. It provides surgeons with a personalized surgical plan based on a 3D model of your hip. This helps the surgeon focus on the removal of diseased bone, helps preserving healthy bone, and assists in positioning the implant based on your anatomy.
• During surgery, the end of the thigh bone (femoral head) is replaced with a metal stem and an artificial ball that is secured to the top of the stem
• The hip socket (acetabulum) is fitted with a metal cup that is lined with a durable plastic (polyethylene)
