The musculoskeletal system includes a wide range of body parts that aid in movement, such as bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. An orthopedic surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating a vast number of injuries and improving overall well-being and quality of life. At DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, the types of orthopedic surgeries we perform include:
Through the use of advanced technology called Mako SmartRobotics, surgeons at DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine are able to perform orthopedic procedures with a high level of precision. This innovative technology works through 3D CT-based planning software that gives the surgeon an in-depth view of the patient’s anatomy. With this useful information, a personalized plan is created that allows the surgeons to only treat what is necessary for the procedure. By staying within predefined boundaries, a greater amount of healthy bone can be preserved.
Once the operation begins, the orthopedic surgeon is in complete control, guiding the Mako robotic arm within the surgical area. Because of Mako’s AccuStop technology, the surgeon guides the unit through the predetermined plan and can make sound adjustments to the procedure as necessary.
