Robert Deveney, MD, of Danbury (Conn.) Orthopedics, performed Connecticut's first MAKOplasty procedure.
MAKOplasty procedures are a minimally invasive treatment option for patients needing total hip replacement or partial knee replacement due to degenerative joint disease. It enables surgeons to precisely resurface only the arthritic portion of the joint.
Dr. Deveney and John Dunleavy, MD, will be performing MAKOplasty procedures at the practice.
