 St. Martin De Porres Hospital is proud to offer a new option for those who are considering knee replacement surgery. We are the first hospital in the Chiayi-Tainan-Yunlin area to provide "MAKOplastyR" (robot-arm assisted surgery) for the treatment of osteoarthritis, which makes mobility difficult and painful l, reducing quality of life for many. Possible advantages of MAKOplastyR include a shorter incision, preservation of more healthy tissue, shorter recovery time, minimal blood loss, and a s smaller scar. MAKOplastyR has been used in the United States for partial knee replacement surgery since 2006, and for total hip replacement since 2010, so we are able to bring this technological advance in medicine to our patients as a time-tested procedure, with a 95% patient satisfaction rate after 6 months.
As all surgery requires careful consideration and consultation with a qualified medical professional, please make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to see if MAKOplastyR is appropriate for you. |
