MAKO Partial Knee Resurfacing at Atlantic Orthopaedics
In partnership with York Hospital, our master surgeons Dr. Akhil Sastry, Dr. William Sutherland, and Dr. Tyler Welch are pleased to offer MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted Partial Knee Resurfacing to patients suffering from persistent knee pain and joint degeneration caused by osteoarthritis. Powered by the RIO Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System, MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted Partial Knee Resurfacing is an innovative and targetted treatment option used by our surgeons to resurface your knee while sparing the healthy bone and ligaments surrounding it. The machine allows for consistently reproducible precision and this helps us secure the joint implant in the most ideal position. Once healed, your knee is able to move smoothly again.
