Know more. Cut less.1-5
That's Mako SmartRobotics™
Mako SmartRobotics™ combines three key components: 3D CT-based planning, AccuStop™ haptic technology and insightful data analytics, into one platform that has shown better outcomes for your total knee, total hip and partial knee patients.6-8
Know more
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.
Cut less
Using everything the CT scan helps you to know about your patient, Mako's AccuStop™ haptic technology guides you to cut what’s planned precisely for each patient.6,9,10 For some patients, that means preserving soft tissue; for others, that means saving healthy bone.1-5

Title
Robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty more accurately restored the posterior condylar offset ratio and the Insall-Salvati Index compared to the manual technique; a cohort-matched study

Conclusion
“Patients who underwent TKA using robotic-arm assisted technology had smaller mean differences in PCOR which had been previously shown to correlate with better joint ROM at 1-year following surgery. In addition, these patients were less likely to have values outside of normal Insall-Salvati Index, which meant they may be less likely to develop patella baja, a condition in which the patella would impinge onto the patellar component, potentially leading to restricted flexion and overall ROM.”

Conclusion
In a cadaveric study that compared RA-TKA to manual TKA (M-TKA), “RA-TKA bone cuts were as or more accurate to plan based on nominal median values in 11 out of 12 measurements. RA-TKA bone cuts were more precise to plan in 8 out of 12 measurements. RA-TKA final component positions were as or more accurate to plan based on median values in five out of five measurements. RA-TKA final component positions were more precise to plan in four out of five measurements… When compared with M-TKA, RA-TKA demonstrated more accurate and precise bone cuts and implant positioning to plan.”

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:
- Enhance patient engagement to help improve satisfaction scores**
- Benchmark your data to compare outcomes to look for areas of opportunity for improvement
- See a comprehensive view of key performance indicators of your orthopaedic service line
Turn data into insights and insights into action
- As part of the Mako SmartRobotics program™,* Stryker’s dedicated team will work with you to verify and review your data on a quarterly basis and help you implement the RecoveryCOACH platform
- Access to detailed data and patient-reported outcomes can help you share your success with the community
*Access to the Mako Program Analytics offering requires execution of a separate Mako Program Analytics agreement.
**Patient satisfaction is measured by the HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) Survey, a national, standardized, publicly reported 29-item survey instrument and data collection methodology for measuring discharged patients’ perspectives of their hospital experience.
- Analyze key performance indicators including operational, clinical and operating room metrics
- Track, trend and benchmark elective joint replacement outcomes
- Access national and peer group comparisons

*** When tracking ASC metrics compared to hospital metrics, complications, readmissions, blood transfusions and flexion/extension metrics are not typically available.
Coordinating care with patients, educating and motivating them to prepare for surgery and complete rehab after surgery, and getting them to complete surveys isn’t easy. We understand the complexity and challenges of orthopaedic practices, both inside and outside of the operating room.
We created a digital platform to help engage patients in a personalized online surgical experience. RecoveryCOACH is the go-to source for checking in and checking up on your patients, managing patient compliance and collecting patient-reported outcomes and general health surveys.
RecoveryCOACH is a useful tool to help streamline your patient care and efficiently deliver an online experience to patients that may help improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.
- Helps address patient expectations and preparedness for surgery
- Provides access to on-demand education library
- Allows family member access so they can support the patient throughout their surgical journey
- Provides a platform for communication with care team
- Plan for 90-day episode
- Manage patients ‘by exception’
- Real-time feedback on patient recovery
- Access to patient reported outcomes data
