Mako robotic surgery is a new way to do knee replacement surgery, either partial or total. The classic way is more popular because not all orthopedists are trained to do robotic-arm-assisted knee replacement using Stryker’s Mako System, so called Mako robotic surgery. The Mako robotic surgery is more accurate, less invasive with shorter recovery time provided your surgeon is experienced.
