OSF HealthCare Saint Elizabeth Medical Center now offers highly advanced robotic-arm assisted joint replacement with the Stryker Mako SmartRobotics system. This innovative technology allows orthopedic surgeons to personalize total knee, partial knee and total hip replacement procedures for patients. This new surgical option offers patients a minimally invasive alternative for joint replacement enabling patients to recover faster and more effectively.
“The Mako robotic system, which combines 3D CT-based planning with data analytics, allows our orthopedic surgeons to create a personalized plan for each patient based on their unique anatomy before surgery,” said Leonardo Lopez, MD, chief medical officer of OSF Saint Elizabeth Medical Center. “We believe this state-of-the-art technology will lead to better outcomes for total knee, total hip and partial knee patients. Connor Kasik, DO, and Robert Mitchell, DO, are certified to perform robotic-arm assisted joint replacement surgeries at OSF Saint Elizabeth.”
