Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology

For patients suffering from chronic knee or hip pain, joint replacement surgery offers the promise of restored mobility and improved quality of life. Dr. Kevin Darr specializes in Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery, a revolutionary approach to Total Knee Replacement and Total Hip Replacement. Performed at the state-of-the-art AVALA clinic, this cutting-edge technology provides unparalleled precision, personalized care, and faster recovery.

What is Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery?

The Mako Robotic Arm is an advanced surgical tool that assists Dr. Darr in performing joint replacement procedures with remarkable accuracy. Using a combination of 3D imaging technology and robotic precision, Mako allows for a fully customized surgical plan tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy.

Unlike traditional methods, Mako provides real-time feedback during surgery, enabling precise bone preparation and optimal implant positioning. This level of precision not only enhances surgical outcomes but also extends the longevity of the implant.

Total Knee Replacement with Mako

A Total Knee Replacement is often necessary for patients with severe knee pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. The Mako system enhances this procedure by:

  1. Pre-Surgical Planning: Creating a detailed 3D map of the knee joint using advanced imaging. This map helps Dr. Darr develop a personalized surgical plan that maximizes accuracy.
  2. Bone Preparation: The robotic arm guides Dr. Darr in removing only the damaged bone and cartilage, preserving as much healthy bone as possible.
  3. Implant Placement: Ensuring the implant is placed in the ideal position for optimal alignment, balance, and function.
