MAKO ROBOTIC PARTIAL / UNICONDYLAR KNEE REPLACEMENT

Fortis Hospitals, Bangalore, offers advanced solutions for knee osteoarthritis, including the innovative Mako Robotic Partial Knee Replacement. This procedure provides targeted relief for patients with early-stage arthritis, where only a portion of the knee is affected.  

Precision and Targeted Relief with Mako Robotic Technology:

Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology allows our surgeons to perform partial knee replacements with exceptional precision. This is particularly beneficial for patients where only one or two compartments of the knee are damaged. The technology facilitates:  

●    Precise Targeting: Replacing only the damaged portion of the knee, preserving healthy tissue.  
●    Personalized Planning: Utilizing 3D models derived from CT scans to create a tailored surgical plan.  
●    Enhanced Accuracy: Guiding the surgeon during the procedure for optimal implant placement.  

Understanding Mako Robotic Partial Knee Replacement:

Unlike total knee replacements, partial knee replacements target specific compartments of the knee. This includes unicondylar, patellofemoral, and bicompartmental replacements. 
The Mako system aids in:  

●    Pre-operative Planning: Creating a 3D model of the knee to plan the surgery.  
●    Intra-operative Guidance: Assisting the surgeon in precise bone removal and implant placement.  
●    Preservation of Healthy Tissue: Minimizing damage to surrounding ligaments and tissues.  

The Mako Robotic Process at Fortis Hospitals:

●    Pre-Surgical Planning: A CT scan generates a 3D model of the knee, allowing for personalized surgical planning.  
●    During Surgery: The surgeon uses the Mako Robotic arm to precisely remove damaged bone and cartilage, then places the implant.  
●    Post-Surgical Care: A comprehensive rehabilitation program is provided to ensure a smooth recovery.
Benefits of Mako Robotic Partial Knee Replacement at Fortis:
●    Higher Precision: Ensures accurate implant placement.  
●    Lesser Pain: Minimally invasive techniques reduce post-operative discomfort.  
●    Faster Recovery: Patients experience quicker return to daily activities.  
●    Preservation of Healthy Knee Structure: Only damaged portions are replaced.
