Mako Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement

At Regen Ortho PB, we offer state-of-the-art Mako robotic-arm assisted total knee replacement (TKA) in Palm Beach. With cutting-edge robotic precision, we aim to improve surgical accuracy, reduce pain, and help you get back to your active life sooner.

What Is Mako Robotic Total Knee Replacement?

Mako Total Knee is a robotic-arm assisted surgical system developed by Stryker.

It combines 3D CT-based planning, haptic guidance (AccuStop™), and real-time intraoperative feedback to personalize the implant placement to your anatomy.
Because of the precise mapping and controlled cuts, Mako aims to cut less healthy bone, preserve soft tissues, and align components with greater precision compared to traditional manual techniques.

How the Mako Total Knee Procedure Works

Preoperative CT Scan & Planning

A high-resolution CT scan of your knee is used to build a 3D model of your joint, including bone, cartilage, and alignment. Your surgeon uses this model to plan implant positioning and joint balance.

Intraoperative Execution with Robotic Assistance

During surgery, the robotic arm guides the bone cuts within the constraints of your personalized plan, thanks to haptic feedback (AccuStop™), which prevents deviation beyond safe boundaries.

Implant Insertion & Fine Adjustments

Once bone preparation is complete, the knee implant is placed, and the surgeon can make fine adjustments based on real feedback to optimize alignment and balance.

Closure & Recovery

After verifying positioning and stability, the incision is closed. Postoperative protocols begin immediately for pain control and mobilization.

Patient Guide & Answers

The Mako system uses CT-based 3D planning, haptic robotic guidance, and real-time feedback to assist the surgeon in performing precise bone cuts and implant placement.
Traditional TKA relies on mechanical guides, whereas Mako allows patient-specific planning and robotic-guided precision, potentially reducing surgical variability and improving implant alignment.
The robotic arm limits cutting to what was planned, reducing the chance of unintentional bone removal. While all surgery has risk, the added precision helps mitigate some risks.
Recovery timelines vary, but many patients experience faster functional recovery and reduced pain due to optimized alignment and tissue preservation. Rehabilitation typically continues over 3–6 months.
Though rare, robotic systems may have registration errors, sensor malfunctions, or interruptions. An experienced surgeon can switch to manual techniques if needed.

Many insurers cover robotic-assisted TKA under the same policies as conventional TKA. Our team will help verify coverage, manage prior authorizations, and assist with cost discussions.
