MMH Now Offering Innovative Technology in Total Knee Replacement with Stryker MAKO Smartrobotics

Posted On: 8/21/2020
Midland Memorial Hospital is the first hospital in the Permian Basin to offer Mako SmartRobotics™. This advancement in joint replacement surgery offers an innovative approach to total and partial knee replacements at the Total Joint and Spine Center

Total knee replacements in the United States are expected to increase 189% by 2030. The Total Joint and Spine Center prides itself in continually looking towards advanced technologies to give our patients and surgeons options when it comes to surgery.

Mako SmartRobotics™ consists of three unique components – 3D CT-based planning, AccuStop™ haptic technology and insightful data analytics. In clinical studies, Mako Total Knee demonstrated great results in pain management, reduction of hospital stay, improved knee flexion and soft tissue protection. The Mako Total Knee combines Stryker’s advanced robotic technology with its clinically successful Triathlon Total Knee System.

“Mako’s 3D CT allows me to create a personalized plan based on each patient’s unique anatomy all before entering the operating room. During surgery, I can validate that plan and make any necessary adjustments while guiding the robotic arm to execute that plan." said Orthopedic Surgeon Jessie Dickens, MD. It’s exciting to be able to offer this transformative technology to perform total knee and partial knee replacements.”

The Total Joint and Spine Center at Midland Memorial Hospital is excited to add this technology to the array of options already available to our patients and surgeons.
