What Is Mako SmartRobotics?

Mako SmartRobotics is a technology-assisted system used in selected joint replacement procedures to help plan surgery based on patient-specific anatomy.

Common reasons

  • Total knee replacement
  • Partial knee replacement
  • Total hip replacement
  • Selected joint replacement planning
  • Patients with advanced arthritis when appropriate


Dr. Davis evaluates each patient to determine whether Mako-assisted planning is appropriate for their condition.

How Mako Planning Works

Mako planning uses imaging to help create a 3D model of the joint so the surgical plan can be adjusted to the patient’s anatomy.

Planning may include:

  • 3D CT-based model
  • Evaluation of joint anatomy
  • Review of arthritis severity
  • Preoperative implant positioning

During surgery:

  • Guidance based on the surgical plan
  • Adjustments when needed
  • Implant positioning support
  • Surgeon-controlled procedure

How candidacy is decided:

  • Symptoms and diagnosis
  • Imaging findings
  • Arthritis severity
  • Overall health
  • Treatment goals and recovery expectations

Is Mako Right for Every Patient?

Not every patient needs or qualifies for technology-assisted joint replacement. Dr. Davis recommends the approach based on diagnosis, imaging, and individual goals.

May be discussed for

  • Advanced knee arthritis
  • Advanced hip arthritis
  • Joint replacement planning
  • Selected partial knee replacement cases
