A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint by inserting a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions.
Knee MAKOplasty is a minimally invasive knee surgery using robotic assistance to ensure precise implant placement.
This procedure involves replacing only one compartment of the knee joint, preserving more of the patient's natural bone and ligaments.
