The Gloucestershire Knee and Hip clinic team have been following the progress of robotic arm surgery to assist them with knee and hip replacements. Many of the country’s leading hip and knee arthroplasty surgeons are now using advanced robotic-arm assisted technology.
This incredibly exciting technology generates a personalised surgical plan bespoke to a patient’s unique anatomy ensuring precision accuracy for hip and knee replacements.
Designed by Stryker, one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, Mako robotic-arm assisted technology provides patients with a more predictable and very precise surgical experience. Early data suggests that for both unicompartmental and total knee replacement, revision rates are much lower when compared to conventional implantation techniques.
Mr Gleeson and Mr Barksfield have just returned from Amsterdam following a successful MAKO robot accreditation course. The entire GKC and GHC team are determined to make this cutting edge technology available to the patients of Gloucestershire. Watch this space!!!
