A New Era in Knee Surgery: Robotic Knee Replacement with MAKO SmartRoboticsTM
Are you struggling with daily knee pain, stiffness, or limited movement? If so, you're not alone - and you don't have to live with the discomfort. Thanks to advanced medical technology, there's now a more precise, personalized option for knee replacement: Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement using MAKO SmartRoboticsTM.
Dr. Sanket Diwanji is using this state-of-the-art procedure to help patients get back on their feet faster and with better outcomes than ever before.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a surgery where the damaged parts of your knee joint are replaced with artificial components to relieve pain and improve movement. In traditional surgery, the procedure relies heavily on the surgeon's skill and manual tools.
With MAKO SmartRoboticsTM, a surgeon is assisted by a highly advanced robotic arm and detailed 3D planning technology. This means the surgery is tailored specifically to your knee's unique anatomy - down to the millimeter.
Before your surgery, a CT scan is taken of your knee. This is used to create a 3D digital model, allowing us to plan the entire operation before even making the first incision.
During the operation, we use the robotic arm to carry out the procedure. The robot doesn't perform the surgery on its own - it's completely controlled by surgeon. The system guides the tools and keeps them within the planned area, helping protect healthy tissue and bone.
MAKO technology gives us real-time data during the procedure to make any necessary adjustments - ensuring a better fit and natural movement of your new joint.
Patients who have had robotic-assisted knee replacement with MAKO SmartRoboticsTM often experience:
Because the procedure is more precise, there's typically less damage to surrounding tissue.
Many patients are able to begin moving their knee sooner and return to normal activities quicker.
Proper implant placement helps the new joint feel more natural and stable.
A well-aligned implant can last longer and reduce the chance of needing further surgery.
If knee pain is affecting your ability to walk, work, or enjoy life - and other treatments haven't helped - you might be a good candidate for robotic-assisted knee replacement.
During consultation we can evaluate your symptoms, review your medical history, and help you understand your options.
