Canberra Orthopaedics Introduces High Precision, State Of The Art MAKO Robotic Assistance System
Canberra Orthopedic today reported the presentation of the MAKO Robotic System, which is an aggregate or a fractional knee application framework that guides orthopedic specialists amid knee reemerging activities. The mechanical arm guarantees an insignificantly intrusive surgery so that even the most troublesome knee surgeries are finished with most elevated accuracy and dependability.
- (1888PressRelease) February 22, 2018 - Canberra, Australia – ‘The new robotic system ensures a faster, safer, highly accurate and a tailor made assistance to each patient during an orthopaedic surgery’
Canberra Orthopaedic today announced the introduction of the MAKO Robotic System, which is a total or a partial knee application system that aids orthopaedic surgeons during knee resurfacing operations. The robotic arm ensures a minimally invasive surgery so that even the most difficult knee surgeries are done with highest precision and stability.
“When compared to the traditional methods of knee surgeries, not much changes for the patient with this all new robotic assisted technology. The FDA approved robotic arm system provides a patient specific solution that allows the surgeon to preserve the maximum part of the healthy bone and soft tissues, while taking away only the exact portions of the diseased area.” – Dr. Joseph Smith (MBBS, FRACS).
Planning the surgery with the robotic assistance technology has gone simpler with the equipment’s - three dimensional modelling features, real time inter operative visuals and audio feedback system. Younger patients, active patients and those affected with mild osteoarthritis will get the best benefits of this surgical technique.
For performing this surgery, the affected bone is required to be analysed using CT scan instead of the traditional x-ray method. This is done with assistance of a specialized team and an orthopaedic surgeon. Next trackers are placed on the femur and tibia to map out the geometry of the affected area. The burr of the robotic arm helps in performing precision cuts for partial knee replacement surgery procedures.
“It may come as a surprise to patients that how can a robot completely takeover a surgical procedure? Though modern technology has advanced, but, our patients can be rest assured that the Orthopaedic Surgeon is in control of the affected area at all times during the surgery” – Dr. Joseph Smith (MBBS, FRACS)
Using a robotic technology, doesn’t mean the surgery goes fully automatic. It’s an aid that alerts the surgeon of a potential human error during the procedure. The surgery is constantly monitored by the surgeon who is entirely responsible for the success of the operation and is the final decision maker.
Knee replacement surgeries with the MAKO robotic assistance system is carried out by only a highly qualified Orthopaedic surgeon and its team. The benefits of this method of surgery include: small incisions, matchless precision, faster and less painful recovery time, shorter hospital stay, increased functionality of the joints and more.
The MAKO robotic assistance system is the latest approach and a breakthrough technology to help adults and elders who are suffering from degenerative joint disease. With this technique, the patient can be assured of minimal post-surgical complications like joint dislocation and implant wear.
