🦵 MAKO 4 Robotic Technology: Precision You Can See in Every Step of Knee Replacement Surgery
In our latest video, Dr. Jason Rotstein, orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee and sports medicine, explains how MAKO 4 SmartRobotics™ is advancing total knee arthroplasty through surgeon-controlled precision and real-time adaptability.
Unlike traditional techniques, MAKO 4 allows Dr. Rotstein to actively guide a robotic arm during surgery while working within a detailed, pre-planned 3D model of the patient’s knee. This enables extremely accurate bone preparation and alignment, with adjustments as precise as 1 millimeter or 1 degree made during the procedure itself.
One of the most important advantages, as Dr. Rotstein highlights, is the ability to make intraoperative refinements based on how the knee responds in real time. This helps optimize soft tissue balance around the joint—an essential factor in achieving stability, smooth motion, and long-term function after knee replacement.
