Mako Hip Replacement

Mako for Total Hip replacement is a surgical procedure intended for patients who suffer from noninflammatory or inflammatory degenerative joint disease (DJD). Some forms of DJD include osteoarthritis (OA), post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), avascular necrosis (AVN), and hip dysplasia.

Mako Total Hip can help lead to better outcomes, like less pain and shorter recovery times, compared to manual surgery.

In clinical studies, compared to manual hip replacement surgery, Mako Total Hip showed:

• Better accurate placement and alignment of hip implants based on the surgical plan.
• Replication of the feeling of a natural hip
• Less likelihood of hip dislocation
• Reduced blood loss
• Preservation of healthy bone

Each patient is unique and can experience joint pain for different reasons. It’s important to talk to us about the reason for your hip pain so you can understand the treatment options available to you. Pain from arthritis and joint degeneration can be constant or come and go, occur with movement or after a period of rest, or be located in one spot or many parts of the body. It is common for patients to try medication and other conservative treatments to treat their hip pain. If you haven’t experienced adequate relief with those treatment options, you may be a candidate for Mako Total Hip replacement, which may provide you with relief from your hip pain.

Mako can help your surgeon plan for better outcomes, like less pain and shorter recovery times, compared to manual hip replacement surgery.
