MAKOplasty® Partial Knee Resurfacing at Pine Creek Medical Center

MAKOplasty® partial knee resurfacing can: •Facilitate optimal implant positioning to result in a more natural feeling knee following surgery •Result in a more rapid recovery and shorter hospital stay than traditional knee replacement surgery •Be performed on an outpatient basis •Promote a rapid relief from pain and return to daily activities The MAKOplasty® procedure is indicated for patients suffering from unicompartmental or bicompartmental knee disease. Therefore, a total knee replacement (for tricompartmental knee disease) is sometimes necessary if your surgeon discovers during surgery that your knee has more damage than originally seen in the pre-operative X-rays and CT scan. Unlike Total Knee Replacement, MAKOplasty® is a resurfacing of the joint with much less bone being removed. Soft tissues and ligaments remain untouched which allows for an overall less invasive procedure. MAKOplasty® partial knee resurfacing is an innovative treatment option for adults living with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis in either the medial, patellofemoral - or both - compartments of the knee. It is powered by the RIO® Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System, which allows for consistently reproducible precision in performing partial knee resurfacing. Surgeons use RIO® to perform MAKOplasty® through a smaller incision than that required for traditional total knee replacement surgery. During the procedure, the diseased portion of the knee is resurfaced, sparing the patient's healthy bone and surrounding tissue. An implant is then secured in the joint to allow the knee to move smoothly again. Please contact http://pinecreekmedicalcenter.com/ for more information on MAKOplasty®.
