MAKO: Personalized Robotic Support for Your Joint Surgery Sioux Center Health has been equipped with MAKO, a cutting-edge robotic-assisted technology. It begins with a CT scan that creates a detailed 3D model of the joint, allowing the surgeon to develop a personalized surgical plan. During the procedure, the surgeon uses MAKO’s robotic arm to guide precise implant placement within defined boundaries, aided by AccuStop™ technology. While MAKO enhances accuracy and control, the surgery is always performed by an orthopedic surgeon, who remains fully in charge and can adjust the plan as needed in real time.
