MAKO Total Knee Replacement
-
Mr Gupte is pleased to be leading the team offering the innovative MAKO Total Knee Replacement, a cutting-edge solution designed for individuals suffering from degenerative knee diseases such as osteoarthritis. Utilizing robotic-arm assisted technology, this procedure offers a personalized surgical experience that is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.

The MAKO robotic technology enhances the precision of the knee replacement surgery. Before your procedure, a CT scan of your knee joint is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This model is loaded into the MAKO system where your surgeon uses it to create your personalized pre-operative plan. During surgery, the MAKO robotic-arm provides your surgeon with real-time visual, tactile, and auditory feedback, facilitating more accurate placement and alignment of knee implants. This advanced technology assists surgeons in removing diseased bone, preserving healthy bone, and positioning the implant with incredible precision.
