During MAKOplasty, the diseased portion of your knee is resurfaced, leaving healthy bone and surrounding tissue. An implant is then secured in your joint to allow you knee to move smoothly again. MAKOplasty can:
- Help put the implant into your knee so it feels more natural after surgery
- Offer a shorter recover time and/or hospital stay than traditional knee replacement surgery
- Usually be covered by most Medicare-approved and private health insurers
