Knee pain sufferers who desire a restoration of lifestyle, minimized surgery, reduced pain and rapid recovery may benefit from MAKOplasty® Partial Knee Resurfacing, performed at Glendale Adventist Medical Center. This innovative treatment option is for adults living with early to midstage osteoarthritis (OA) in either the inner

 (medial), top (patellofemoral), or outer (lateral) compartments of the knee. It is designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration and potentially offers the following benefits:

  • Improved surgical outcomes
  • Less implant wear and loosening
  • Joint resurfacing
  • Bone sparing
  • Smaller incision
  • Less scarring
  • Reduced blood loss
  • Minimal hospitalization
  • Rapid recovery

MAKOplasty® is powered by the RIO® Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System, which allows for consistently reproducible precision in performing partial knee resurfacing. During the procedure, the affected portion of the knee is resurfaced, sparing the patient's healthy bone and surrounding tissue

  • Facilitate optimal implant positioning to result in a more natural feeling knee following surgery
  • Result in faster recovery and shorter hospital stays than traditional knee replacement surgery
  • Be performed on an outpatient basis
  • Promote a rapid relief from pain and return to daily activities

As a knee arthroplasty procedure, MAKOplasty® is typically covered by most Medicare-approved and private health insurers.
