hip or knee in real-time during the surgery - cre-
ating a more predictable surgical experience.
Dr. Toulson explains: “This 3D technology al-
lows me to see the orientation, alignment,
rotation and actual size of the implant that
we will be using. So, I can actually see with
3D technology what the implant looks like,
and I can make adjustments in surgery to bal-
ance the ligaments inside of the knee.”
The MAKO™ Robotic-Arm assists Dr. Toulson in
performing precise surgeries. “What’s critical is
the MAKO robot will not permit me to deviate
outside of the plan that we have instituted in the
very beginning of surgery. As the surgeon, I’m
still doing the surgery, the robot is simply allow-
ing me to do it in a more precise manner,” says
Dr. Toulson. “The MAKOplasty robot assists me in
placing perfectly aligned implants. As a sur-
geon, it’s very exciting to see that we can do this
reproducibly, consistently, and do it successfully.”
