MAKOplasty(R) Robotic Arm Partial Knee Resurfacing -- A New Level of Precision

A live surgical webcast of MAKOplasty� robotic arm partial knee
resurfacing will be presented by Thomas M. Coon, M.D. and St.
Elizabeth Community Hospital on December 1st at 3:00 p.m. PST.
MAKOplasty� is a new, minimally invasive partial knee resurfacing
procedure used to treat early to mid-stage knee osteoarthritis that
offers a more precise and consistent result that can provide
relief.
The opportunity for early intervention is important as
osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and the leading
cause of disability worldwide, according to the American Academy of
Orthopedic Surgeons.
MAKOplasty� takes partial knee resurfacing to a new level of
precision. It is enabled by the Tactile Guidance System(TM)
(TGS(TM)), a surgeon-interactive tactile robotic arm and 3-D
visualization system.
The TGS(TM) allows the surgeon to make a pre-surgical plan that
details the technique for bone preparation and implant positioning
using a CT scan of the patient's knee. During the procedure, the
system creates a three-dimensional live-action, virtual view of the
patient's bone surface and correlates the image to the
pre-programmed surgical plan. As the surgeon uses the robotic arm,
its tactile, acoustic and visual feedback limits the bone
preparation to the diseased areas and provides for more optimal
implant positioning, placement and results.
