FAQ

What exactly is Mako robotic surgery and how does it work?

Mako robotic surgery is an advanced, robot-assisted system used in orthopedic procedures. It combines 3D imaging, surgical planning software, and a robotic arm to help surgeons perform highly precise joint replacements, tailored to the patient’s anatomy.

Does the Stryker surgical robot perform the operation independently?

No. The Stryker Mako system does not operate on its own. The surgeon remains in full control at all times, while the robot provides guidance, precision, and safety boundaries during the procedure.

Which orthopedic procedures can be performed using the Mako system?

The Mako system is commonly used for:

  • Total knee replacement
  • Partial knee replacement
  • Total hip replacement

What makes the Mako SmartRobotics approach different from traditional surgery?

The SmartRobotics approach combines:

  • Pre-operative CT-based planning
  • Real-time intraoperative guidance
  • Robotic arm assistance for accuracy

    This leads to more precise implant positioning and better alignment compared to conventional techniques.

What are the recovery benefits of undergoing Stryker robotic surgery?

Patients may experience:

  • Less pain after surgery
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Faster recovery and rehabilitation
  • Improved joint function and mobility

How can I find out if the Mako robot is the right choice for my knee or hip pain?

A consultation with an orthopedic specialist is essential. They will evaluate joint damage, overall health, imaging scans, and lifestyle needs to determine if robotic-assisted surgery is appropriate.

Is the Mako Stryker robot a proven technology for long-term joint health?

Yes, the system is widely used and clinically validated, with studies showing improved implant positioning and patient outcomes, which can contribute to better long-term joint function and durability.
