The Joint Replacement Center at Broward Health North is now offering MAKOplasty® Partial Knee Resurfacing and MAKOplasty® Total Hip Replacement procedures, performed using the RIO® Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System marketed by Stryker Orthopaedics. RIO is a surgeon-controlled robotic arm system that enables accurate alignment and placement of implants.
“Accuracy is key in planning and performing both partial knee and total hip procedures,” said Dr. Bruce Janke, Medical Director of the Joint Replacement Center at Broward Health North which performs more hip replacements than any other hospital in South Florida. “For a good outcome you need to align and position the implants just right. RIO enables surgeons to personalize partial knee and total hip arthroplasties to achieve optimal results at a level of accuracy and reproducibility previously unattainable with conventional instrumentation.”
The RIO System features a patient-specific visualization system and proprietary tactile robotic arm technology that is integrated with intelligent surgical instruments. It assists surgeons in pre-planning and in treating each patient uniquely and with consistently reproducible procedure.
