It's exciting to be able to offer this transformative technology across the joint replacement service line."

Mako SmartRobotics' 3D CT-based planning coupled with AccuStop™ haptic technology can help surgeons plan for better outcomes like less pain and quicker recovery times compared to manual surgery, helping patients get back to the things they love, quicker.
