West Boca Medical Center will now provide MAKOplasty, one of the latest innovations in total hip and partial knee replacement surgeries, for patients suffering from hip and knee pain. This highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm procedure enables accurate hip implant alignment and knee resurfacing.
MAKOplasty helps treat patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee, which is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The procedure also helps patients who have arthritis in the hip. About 450,000 hip replacement surgeries are performed in the United States each year.
