The Robotic Advantage

Mako is an innovative solution for many suffering from painful arthritis of the knee or hip.

Scan. It all starts with a CT scan so the surgeon can know more about the patient’s anatomy.

Plan. The CT scan is used to create a 3D CT-based model of the patient’s joint. The surgeon uses this 3D model to create a personalized surgical plan and assists the surgeon in performing the joint replacement procedure.

Mako Can. In the operating room, the surgeon follows the patient’s personalized surgical plan while preparing the bone for the implant. The surgeon guides Mako’s robotic arm within the predefined area, and Mako’s AccuStopTM technology helps the surgeon stay within the planned boundaries that were defined when the personalized pre-operative plan was created.

It’s important to understand that the surgery is performed by an orthopedic surgeon, who guides Mako’s robotic arm during the surgery to position the implant in the knee and hip joints. Mako does not perform surgery, make decisions on its own or move without the surgeon guiding it. Mako also allows your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed.

Neck and Back Pain

Back and neck pain affects more than 80% of adults at some point in their life. With a column of 33 vertebrae, the spine, which extends from the skull to the pelvis, is often the culprit of debilitating pain.

When evaluating therapy options for the spine, your patient may feel some anxiety. Thankfully, many spine conditions do not require surgical interventions. Our orthopedic specialists are committed to providing pain management and treatment interventions tailored to meet your patient’s unique needs. We aim to empower individuals with the tools and resources that promote an active lifestyle.

Joint Pain

Knee injuries and hip pain are common reasons people visit an orthopedic surgeon. Before establishing a plan of care, our orthopedic experts will perform a thorough assessment and any necessary diagnostic tests. After diagnosis, our specialists will discuss treatment options.

Committed to safety and long-term mobility, our providers choose non-surgical therapies whenever possible. Yet, we are certified to perform surgical interventions when necessary.

We offer surgical options for several joint repairs or replacements if non-invasive interventions prove ineffective. Our orthopedic surgeons may recommend surgical treatment if the following conditions apply:

  • Joint pain that continues despite compliance with non-surgical therapies
  • Loss of significant range of motion
  • Joint discomfort during times of rest
  • Decreased ability to perform daily or athletic activities

Regardless of treatment modality, we deliver thorough education so patients are informed and on board with the recommended treatment plan.

Hand and Wrist Pain

Hobbies, like gardening or sports, enhance our lives. The effects of a hand or wrist injury can be far-reaching, preventing your patients from doing their favorite activities and limiting athletic performances. Since these common injuries can lead to forearm and elbow pain, our orthopedic specialists are ready and available to treat your patient’s hand or wrist injury.

As with all our orthopedic services, we begin with a complete evaluation of the injury and testing that ensures proper diagnosis. Whether or not surgical intervention is necessary, your patients will receive treatments precisely designed to help them get back to what they love.

Foot & Ankle Care

Podiatry services provide specialized evaluation, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. Our podiatric specialists treat both common and complex pathologies, including bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, heel pain syndromes, traumatic injuries, diabetic foot complications, and dermatologic conditions affecting the lower extremity.

Working collaboratively with referring providers, our team offers comprehensive treatment options tailored to each patient’s clinical needs, including custom orthotics, conservative therapies, wound care, rehabilitation strategies, and surgical intervention when indicated. Through a patient-centered, evidence-based approach, we help improve mobility, alleviate pain, and support long-term foot and ankle health while maintaining continuity of care with the referring healthcare team.
