Cutting-edge robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements with unprecedented precision, accuracy, and improved patient outcomes.
Ms. (Dr.) Samantha Tross was the first woman in Europe to perform Mako robotic hip surgery. She provides robotic‑assisted hip and knee replacements with unparalleled precision and expertise.
Advanced technology enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes
The surgeon remains in control and can override the robot at any time. Data on joint anatomy and limb alignment are fed into the robot's computer to plan optimal prosthesis placement.
Stereotactic pins are placed away from the operation site to allow the robot to track limb position throughout the procedure, ensuring maximum accuracy.
This technology allows for precise bone preparation and implant positioning, potentially leading to better long-term outcomes and reduced complications.
Risk at pin sites used for tracking
Force used to place tracking pins may cause bone fracture
Rare risk of damage to nerves or blood vessels
Muscle injury, scar tenderness, abnormal pigmentation or keloid scar formation
Robotic surgery may have longer operative times
More accurate implant positioning and alignment
May lead to quicker initial recovery periods
Particularly beneficial for joints with significant deformity or abnormal anatomy
May be advantageous for younger patients needing long‑term implant survival
Evidence that robotic surgery is superior to conventional methods is limited; recovery may be faster initially but outcomes at six months are similar
