Mako Total Hip, Cory Calendine, MD
In clinical studies, Mako Robotic-assisted hip replacement resulted in:
- More accurate placement and alignment of hip implants based on the surgical plan.
- Less likelihood of hip dislocation.
- Reduced blood loss.
- Replication of the feeling of a natural hip.
- Preservation of healthy bone.
Mako Preoperative Planning Advantage
Personalized surgical plan with Mako SmartRobotics Hip Replacement: Prior to surgery, Dr. Calendine will order a CT scan of your hip joint in order to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. The 3D model allows Dr. Calendine to see things that typically can not be seen with an x-ray alone. This additional information helps your surgeon determine the optimal size, placement and positioning of your implant.
