The Stryker Mako System

Staff posing with the Stryker Mako systemSurgeons at the Orthopedic Center at Saratoga Hospital are among the first in the Capital Region to offer robotic arm-assisted surgery—using the Stryker Mako System—for total hip replacements and partial and total knee replacements. This cutting-edge technology enhances patient care by ensuring a higher level of precision and accuracy during surgery.

The Mako System uses CT-based 3D modeling software that allows surgeons to create a personalized joint replacement plan based on your unique anatomy, the size of your implant, and its orientation and alignment. During the procedure, the surgeon uses the robotic arm to place the implant as precisely as possible, in a position that reflects your natural movement patterns. Studies show the Mako System can enhance surgical precision, help protect soft tissue and ligaments, and improve patient satisfaction.
