The Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted system uses a CT-based 3D model of your joint to plan the surgery and execute bone cuts within sub-millimetre accuracy. The surgeon remains fully in control — the robot acts as a precision instrument, not an autonomous machine.

Step 1: 3D pre-op planning

A CT scan of your joint creates a true 3D anatomical model. The surgeon designs the perfect implant size, position and alignment digitally — before entering the operating room.

Step 2: Intraoperative execution

In surgery, the patient's anatomy is registered to the digital plan with optical trackers. The robotic arm constrains the surgeon's instrument to the exact pre-planned cuts — preventing any deviation.

Soft-tissue balance is verified in real-time and the plan adjusted dynamically.

Step 3: Verified outcome

Final implant position is confirmed against the digital plan. Studies show Mako delivers alignment within ±1° of plan — versus ±3–5° with traditional jigs.
