How MAKOplasty Can Help

The MAKOplasty® Partial Knee Resurfacing procedure is designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration. (WCF Courier 031911: Robotic Device Eases Patients' Pain in Knee Surgery)

During the procedure, the diseased portion of the knee is resurfaced, sparing the patient’s healthy bone and surrounding tissue. An implant is then secured in the joint to allow the knee to move smoothly again.
