Using a CT scan, Mako SmartRobotics™ creates a 3D model of the patient’s joint. This model allows Dr. Presley to develop a personalized surgical plan that considers the patient’s unique anatomy. The system’s AccuStop™ haptic technology helps guide the surgical instruments during the procedure, ensuring precision in bone preparation and implant placement.
