Memorial Hermann-The Woodlands (Texas) Hospital incorporated Stryker's MAKOplasty procedure, according to a Woodlands Online report.
Here are three quick facts:
1. The hospital will now offer both total hip and partial knee resurfacing using MAKOplasty.
2. The procedure uses the surgeon-operated RIO Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System.
3. Adam Freedhand, MD, who is on staff with Memorial Hermann, demonstrated the MAKOplasty procedure to other physicians in the hospital. Dr. Freehand performs the partial knee procedure on an outpatient basis.
