New Robotic-Arm Tech for Knee Replacements Offers More Precision, Faster Recovery

Robotic-arm assisted surgery for total or partial knee replacements is becoming more common for the growing number of patients suffering from pain caused by arthritis or injury — and who haven’t found relief with non-surgical treatments.

Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute is the first institution in Miami-Dade County to invest in the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology, manufactured by Stryker. Mako has helped surgeons perform their partial and knee replacements more accurately. For patients, that means preserving soft tissue, saving healthy bone, and realizing faster recoveries.

Every patient that needs a knee replacement, whether a total or partial knee, is candidate to have a robotic procedure with Mako, says Juan Carlos Suarez, M.D., orthopedic surgeon with Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute.
