MAKOplasty is performed using RIO, a surgeon-controlled robotic arm system. It potentially offers less pain for patients and more rapid recovery.
“MAKOplasty allows us to treat patients with knee osteoarthritis at earlier stages and with greater precision. Because it is less invasive and preserves more of the patient’s natural knee, the goal is for patients to have relief from their pain, gain back their knee motion, and return to their daily activities,” said Charles Williams, director of perioperative operations for Mohawk Valley Health System, of which the medical center is a part.
