2. It also enables surgeons to virtually modify the surgical plan intraoperatively and assists them in executing bone resections.

3. The Mako Partial Knee application only targets the part of the knee damaged by osteoarthritis.

4. Stryker also developed the Mako Total Hip application, which is designed for adults with degenerative hip joint disease.
