The system provides surgeons with more information prior to total knee, partial knee and total hip replacement procedures, increasing precision and accuracy, according to a Feb. 23 news release. 

Surgeons can create a personalized plan for each patient to optimize their procedure, allowing for less pain and shorter hospital stays than manual techniques permit. 

The medical center offers joint replacement surgeries with the Mako system at its locations in Indiana and Johnstown, Pa., the release said.

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.
