Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement in MI
During knee replacement surgery, damaged or worn-out regions of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial implants. In a robotic total knee replacement, surgeons employ computed tomography (CT) scans to construct a virtual model of the patient's knee. With that model as a guide, the surgeon then utilizes the robotic arm to accurately place the new knee components. Dr. Davis provides diagnosis and minimally invasive knee replacement surgery using robotic-arm technology in MI. Dr. Davis also provides highly specialized care during and after surgery.

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Procedure
MAKO is a robotic-arm assisted technology that will help your surgeon develop a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy. By selectively targeting the part of your knee that is damaged, your surgeon can replace the diseased part of your knee while helping to spare the healthy bone and ligaments surrounding it.

How it works
Mako SmartRobotics™ is an innovative solution for many suffering from painful arthritis of the knee. Mako uses a 3D CT-based planning software so your surgeon can know more about your anatomy to create a personalized joint replacement surgical plan.
By guiding your doctor during surgery, Mako’s AccuStop™ technology allows your surgeon to cut less by cutting precisely what’s planned to help protect your healthy bone.
It’s important to understand that the surgery is performed by an orthopaedic surgeon, who guides Mako’s robotic arm during the surgery to position the implant in the knee joint. Mako SmartRobotics™ does not perform surgery, make decisions on its own or move without the surgeon guiding it. Mako SmartRobotics™ also allows your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed.


Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
The benefits of the robotic-assisted knee replacement include:
- Smaller incisions
- Rapid recovery
- Precise placement of the implant
- Reduced injury to adjacent tissues
- Increased longevity of the implant
- Precise implant positioning can may result in a more natural feeling knee following surgery
- More information available to your surgeon can allow for better reproduction of your normal anatomy
