Physicians used MAKO Surgical robotic technology during the minimally invasive surgery in order to make precise incisions customized to the patient’s knee. Though the hospital has used MAKO technology in several previous surgeries, new sensors allowed the physicians to obtain improved soft tissue balance and patient-specific kinematics.
The new advances in robotic surgical technology were designed to improve recovery time.
