Dr. Pagnotto of Tri-State Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Performs One of the First MAKOplasty Robotic-Assisted Hip and Knee Surgeries in Western Pennsylvania

The MAKOplasty technique combines advanced imaging with a robotic surgical arm to achieve optimal joint alignment. Dr. Pagnotto is among only a handful of Orthopaedic Surgeons that have performed robotic-assisted total-hip and partial-knee replacements at West Penn Hospital using a state-of-the- art interactive robotic arm that provides unprecedented precision and accuracy in joint placement.

MAKOplasty is designed to facilitate minimally-invasive surgical techniques. The system uses a computed tomography (CT) scan of the patient’s joint to create a 3-dimentional map of the surgical area. The robotic arm then assists the surgeon as damaged bone is cut away, limiting the drilling to areas that were pre-defined in the surgical plan. This precision allows for optimal placement of artificial joints and results in decreased friction on the new joint and a more natural feeling joint for the patient. Osteoarthritis or “wear and tear” arthritis is a leading cause of joint damage and disability worldwide, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. MAKOplasty can be used to treat early- to mid-stage osteoarthritis that has not progressed to all three compartments of the knee.

Whether used for total-hip or partial-knee replacement, MAKOplasty offers the benefits of smaller incisions and scars, less blood loss, quicker recovery time and shorter hospital stays for patients. In many cases, patients are able to return home the same day or next morning following surgery. Visit the MAKOplasty website to learn more www.Meetmako.com.
