The practice added the Mako arm, which helps with 3D-image-based planning, haptic technology and data analytics, in the fall of 2019, according to a June 28 email sent to Becker’s.
Elite uses the robot to perform total knee and hip and partial knee replacements.
“When I first saw the results of our first couple of total joint patients using the Mako Robotic arm assist, I was truly excited to see this technology in a same-day setting. The average person at first didn’t think that a same-day total knee or hip was possible and didn’t know about the robotic arm assist, but the results speak for themselves. I believe more and more patients will seek out orthopedic surgeons for same-day total joint procedures, especially those utilizing the Mako system,” Dennis Simmons, CEO of Elite Surgical, told Becker’s.
