A New Solution for Joint Pain

Mako™ robotic-arm assisted surgery is an innovative solution at Southcoast Health for individuals suffering from painful arthritis of the knee or hip. This technology allows our doctors to perform surgeries that are safer, more accurate, and are customized just for you.

During surgery, the Mako system guides the surgeon’s cuts within the pre-defined area and helps prevent the surgeon from moving outside the planned boundaries. This technology allows the surgeon to execute their cuts within millimeters of the desired plan.

Our patients are often able to recover faster after knee and hip replacement procedures with the use of the Mako. With the aid of the Mako robotic arm, the surgical team can make smaller cuts, with more precision, minimizing damage to both bones and soft tissue.
