  • Relief from hip pain and stiffness
  • Use of a robotic arm that enables orthopedic surgeons to guide and perform joint replacement surgery with precision
  • Use of a 3D computed tomography-based planning software that allows for more accurate placement of the hip and knee implant, reducing the likelihood of future joint dislocation.
  • More consistency in leg length
  • Potentially decreased need for a shoe lift.
  • Decreased risk of the implant and bone abnormally rubbing together

What Are the Advantages of Robotic Knee and Hip Surgery?

Mako SmartRobotics™ for Joint Replacements

When chronic joint pain makes getting up in the morning a chore, or when an injury sidelines you—talk to us, and together, we'll explore treatment options that work best for you. Mako SmartRoboticsTM for total and partial joint replacement may be a good option after finding no relief from conservative treatments or medication.

Joint pain is among the most common reasons for seeing an orthopedic physician. From chronic dull aches and sharp twinges to popping joints, numb extremities or osteoarthritis, many people endure much more than they have to.

Robotic-Assisted Hip or Knee Surgery

Advanced Surgery Center of Sarasota's joint replacement surgeons can offer advanced robotic technology and three-dimensional (3D) modeling to make partial knee, total knee and hip replacements.

Unlike traditional open surgery, our joint replacement surgeons can map out each step of the surgical process before the procedure through virtual imaging. This advanced pre-surgical process allows for some of the highest levels of precision and efficiency.

Robotic joint replacement surgery allows our surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures through a console with flexible robotic arms that mirror their hand movements to complete an operation. The robotic arms hold a camera as well as surgical equipment.

For qualified candidates, robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery can offer numerous benefits over traditional open orthopedic surgery, including faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. It is typical for patients to experience a better fit, stability, balance and feel of the replaced joint.
