Mr Makrides has proudly celebrated being part of the team at Spire Little Aston Hospital, who have achieved 500 Mako Robotic Assisted Joint Replacements!

Mako allows your surgeon to create a 3D virtual model of your hip or knee’s unique anatomy so he can follow your unique personalised plan during surgery.During surgery, the robotic arm guides the surgeon within a pre-defined area using real-time tracking feedback which can adjust for very small movements. This makes it extremely precise and accurate when putting the implant in.

Advantages of the Mako robotic arm are:

  • Can be used for partial or total hip and knee replacements
  • Helps create a personalised surgical plan
  • 2-3 times more accurate joint replacement than manual replacement
  • Produces minimal blood loss and a smaller scar
  • Helps preserve healthy bone and soft tissue
  • Results in less post-operative pain than manual techniques
  • Provides a quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay

What is recovery like?

Recovery is much quicker than traditional hip and knee replacements. You will have a personalised physiotherapy plan and may be able to walk just hours after your surgery, and return to your everyday activities in 1-4 weeks.
