This technology supports complex cases, including hip and knee replacements, by improving alignment and balance. Patients from Worcester, Droitwich, Evesham and surrounding areas benefit from this innovative method, which is designed to enhance joint function and overall satisfaction with the surgical outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes MAKO robotic surgery different from traditional joint replacement?
MAKO robotic surgery uses 3D imaging and robotic arms to assist surgeons with accuracy and customisation, whereas traditional methods rely solely on manual techniques. This can lead to more precise implant placement and less tissue disruption.
Is MAKO robotic surgery suitable for all patients requiring joint replacement?
Suitability for MAKO robotic surgery depends on individual health factors and specific joint conditions. David McKenna Orthopaedics evaluates each case carefully to determine if this technique is the best option.
How does MAKO robotic surgery affect recovery times?
By enabling minimally invasive approaches and precise implant placement, MAKO robotic surgery often results in less pain and swelling, potentially allowing patients to experience faster rehabilitation compared to traditional surgery.
