Robotic hip and knee surgery
Precision.On another level.
Your implant, planned in 3D on your own anatomy and placed with the guidance of a robotic arm. With the judgment of a hip and knee specialist.
3D
Model of your joint before you enter the operating room.
Real time
Alignment and position data throughout surgery.
2
Platforms: Mako and ROSA. Training in China, the US and Amsterdam.
How it works
Three steps.
One goal: getting you moving again.
Step 1 of 3
Your joint, in 3D.
A CT scan is used to build a three-dimensional model of your hip or knee. On it, the exact implant size and ideal position are chosen before you enter the operating room.
Comparison
Conventional vs. robot-assisted.
| Conventional surgery | Robot-assisted | |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | 2D X-rays. | 3D model of your joint built from a CT scan. |
| Implant placement | Guided by instruments and the surgeon's experience. | Guided by the robotic arm, within the planned boundaries. |
| Adjustments in the OR | Visual and manual assessment. | Real-time alignment and balance data. |
| Who operates | The surgeon. | The surgeon. The robot doesn't operate on its own: it assists every movement. |
Technology
Trained on the two leading platforms.
Are you a candidate?
It may be right for you if…
- Hip or knee pain already limits your daily life.
- You have arthritis that doesn't improve with medication or therapy.
- You've been told you need a joint replacement and want the most precise option.
Frequently asked questions
Does the robot operate by itself?
No. The surgeon performs the surgery at all times. The robotic system is a tool that assists with 3D planning and guidance during the procedure.
Does my insurance cover robotic surgery?
It depends on your policy. We work with 16 insurers and help you review your coverage from your first visit.
How long is recovery?
Every case is different. At your evaluation we explain the expected timeline based on your age, your joint and your activity level.
Where is it performed?
At hospitals in Mexico City that have robotic technology. We'll tell you the location based on your case and your insurance.
