It all starts with a CT scan that creates a 3D image of your patient’s unique anatomy. This information you’ve never had before allows you to create your patient’s plan and assess and balance the joint.
A distinct, prospective, consecutive series, single-surgeon study comparing patients undergoing conventional jig-based total knee replacement versus Mako Total Knee surgery (40 patients) concluded that Mako Total Knee with Triathlon was associated with: Less need for opiate analgesics (p<0.001), less time to hospital discharge (26% reduction in LOS), less need for in-patient physical therapy sessions (p<0.001), and less postoperative pain (p<0.001).4
Using everything the CT scan helps you to know about your patient, Mako AccuStop haptic technology guides you to cut what’s planned precisely for each patient.1,14,15 For some patients, that means preserving soft tissue; for others, that means saving healthy bone.7,8,9,10
A prospective, consecutive series, single-surgeon study comparing patients undergoing conventional jig-based total knee replacement versus Mako Total Knee surgery (30 patients), concluded that Mako Total Knee with Triathlon was associated with less bone and soft tissue damage (p<0.05).8
In a single surgeon study comparing consecutive Mako Partial Knee (n=73) vs. manual Oxford uni (n=73), Mako Partial Knee patients demonstrated: reduced post-op pain (p<0.001), decreased analgesia requirements (p<0.001), shorter time to straight leg raise (p<0.001), decreased number of PT sessions (5 vs. 9, p<0.001), improved max knee flexion at discharge (p<0.001), and reduced mean time to hospital discharge (29 hours).11
In a controlled, match-paired study, using acetabular head size as an approximate surrogate measure of acetabular bone resection, results suggested greater preservation of bone stock using Mako Total Hip compared to manual surgery.12
As part of our Mako SmartRobotics program,* Stryker’s dedicated team works alongside you to understand your data, your goals and your challenges. Our dashboard and tools help you to see trends and drill into specific case details to view areas of success and to discover areas that have opportunity for improvement. Our program can help you make more informed decisions through insightful data analytics.
The Mako SmartRobotics program* includes two essential data platforms - our Hospital/ASC Reported Outcomes (HRO) dashboard and RecoveryCOACH, our patient engagement and patient reported outcomes collection portal and app. With the insights and engagement driven from both of these platforms, we can help you:

*For the Mako Total Knee application, “cut less” refers to less soft tissue damage and greater bone preservation as compared to manual surgery.8,9 For the Mako Total Hip and Partial Knee applications, “cut less” refers to greater bone preservation as compared to manual surgery.7,10
