MAKOplastyŽ
Partial Knee Resurfacing is an innovative treatment
option for adults living with early to midstage
osteoarthritis (OA) in either the medial (inner),
patellofemoral (top), or both compartments of the knee.
It is powered by the RIOŽ Robotic Arm Interactive
Orthopedic System, which allows for consistently
reproducible precision in performing partial knee
resurfacing.
The RIOŽ System empowers surgeons and
hospitals to address the needs of a large and
growing, yet currently underserved patient
population. Patients who desire a restoration of
lifestyle, minimized surgery, reduced pain and
rapid recovery may benefit from MAKOplastyŽ.
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. MAKOplastyŽ 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
As a knee arthroplasty procedure, MAKOplastyŽ
is typically covered by most Medicare-approved
and private health insurers.
Robotic Arm Interactive
Orthopedic System (RIOŽ)
The RIOŽ Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic
System features three dimensional pre-surgical
planning. During surgery, the RIOŽ provides the
surgeon with real-time visual, tactile and
auditory feedback to facilitate optimal joint
resurfacing and implant positioning. It is this
optimal placement that can result in more
natural knee motion following surgery.
RIOŽ Features:
Accurately plan implant size,
orientation and alignment utilizing
CT-derived 3-D modeling
Enabling the pre-resection capture of
patient-specific kinematic tracking through
full flexion and extension
Real-time intra-operative adjustments
for correct knee kinematics and soft-tissue
balance
Minimally invasive and bone sparing,
with minimal tissue trauma for faster
recovery
