Precision and comfort in your joint replacement.
Facing hip or knee replacement can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to settle for traditional surgery. At the Connecticut Orthopaedic Institute, we’re proud to offer Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery: a state-of-the-art option that’s more precise, less invasive, and designed to help you recover faster so you can get back to the life you love.
Why choose Mako?
Mako combines 3D imaging with a surgeon-guided robotic arm for a higher level of accuracy than traditional surgery.
- Before surgery: A CT scan creates a 3D model of your joint. Your surgeon uses this to design a personalized plan tailored to your body.
- During surgery: With robotic guidance, your surgeon prepares the bone and places your implant within exact boundaries, protecting healthy tissue and allowing real-time adjustments.
- After surgery: You’ll work with a dedicated care team — including surgeons, nurses, and physical therapists — to set recovery goals, track progress, and return safely to your favorite activities.
The right fit for your needs.
Mako can help with three kinds of joint replacement:
- Partial knee resurfacing: For patients with early- to mid-stage osteoarthritis affecting just one part of the knee. Mako allows your surgeon to resurface just the damaged portion, preserving healthy bone and tissue, and place the implant with precision.
- Total knee replacement: For patients with advanced arthritis or joint degeneration. Using 3D modeling, your surgeon aligns the implant for the best fit and function, guided by robotic precision.
- Total hip replacement: For those with degenerative hip joint disease. Mako helps your surgeon shape the joint and place implants with exact depth and alignment — improving balance, comfort, and long-term results.
