The robot creates a 3D-scan of a patient’s anatomy to allow for a custom implant placement. Recently, Matt Knedel, MD, performed a knee replacement on a 77-year-old woman with the robot.

The Saint Agnes Foundation raised nearly $250,000 during the pandemic to help pay for the $1 million Mako.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
