“I’m living a full-time life.”

“I wanted the latest technology.”

If you are limited in your day-to-day activities and it’s starting to affect you both mentally and physically, research your options. Technology has advanced so much over the years and I am so happy I got my knee replaced with Mako Technology.

“I’m living a full-time life.”

“I’m living a full-time life.”

When I talk to people that have knee problems I say, talk to your doctor about knee replacement. I am so happy with my Stryker knee.

“5 Stars for Dr. Nanson”

“5 Stars for Dr. Nanson.”

Dr. Nanson has been my doctor for 10+ years and I wouldn’t want anyone else working on me. He follows up before, during, and after any surgery or office visit. I am very frugal with my ratings but where Dr. Nanson is concerned he easily gets Five Stars.

Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Total Knee replacement is a treatment option for adults living with mid to late-stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Mako enables you to have a more predictable surgical experience because it provides you with a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy.

How Mako Technology Works

Personalized Surgical Plan

Prior to surgery, a CT scan of your hip joint is taken in order to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. The 3D model helps your doctor see things he or she can’t typically see with an x-ray alone. This additional information helps your doctor determine the optimal size, placement and positioning of your implant.

Range-of-Motion Assessment

Throughout your procedure, Mako provides real-time data to your surgeon. This allows them to continuously assess the movement and tension of your new joint, and adjust your surgical plan if desired.

Arthritic Bone Removal

In the operating room, your surgeon guides Mako’s robotic arm to remove the arthritic bone and cartilage from the hip. A virtual boundary provides tactile resistance to help the surgeon stay within the boundaries defined in your surgical plan.

Implant Placement

As the surgeon prepares to place the implant into its final position, the robotic-arm guides the implant at the desired angle defined in the surgical plan. This helps ensure the placement and alignment of the implant are performed according to plan.
