“With the Mako robot, I know more about my patients than ever before, and I’m able to cut less,” Cambridge orthopedic surgeon Robert Doohen, MD, said. “For some patients, this can mean less soft tissue damage, for others, greater bone preservation. Mako’s 3D CT allows me to create a personalized plan based on each patient’s unique anatomy all before entering the operating room. It’s exciting to be able to offer this transformative technology to perform total knee, total hip and partial knee replacements.”

The hospital is holding an open house on April 26 to showcase the robot, with a demonstration at 3:30 p.m.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
