The best! Brent Brotzman is amazing! His PA and MA are also very helpful and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Brotzman and his staff. Both the initial office visit and at the surgery center.
Brotzman is very personable, takes the time to explain every aspect of the issue". Robotic Surgery Specialist. What is an Arthrosurface Partial Knee Replacement? Accurate placement and alignment of the hip implant is crucial in hip replacement surgery. This aids the surgeon in planning your surgery. Such optimal placement can result in a more natural hip motion following surgery.

Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology for partial knee replacement We understand that making sure you know what to expect from your joint replacement experience is important to you.
How Mako Technology works Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology provides you with a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy. Depending on where the arthritis affects the knee, patients may have an implant inserted in any of the following areas: Step 1. Knee CT Scan Step 2. All other trademarks are trademarks of their respected owners or holders. We understand that making sure you know what to expect from your joint replacement experience is important to you. It is common for patients to try medication and other conservative treatments to treat their knee pain.
Mako provides you with a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy. First, a CT scan of the diseased knee joint is taken. This 3D model is used to pre-plan and assist your surgeon in performing your total knee replacement. In the operating room, your surgeon follows your personalized surgical plan while preparing the bone for the Triathlon Total Knee implant. With over a decade of clinical history, Triathlon knee replacements are different than traditional knee replacements because they are designed to work with the body to promote natural-like circular motion.
The surgeon guides the robotic-arm to remove diseased bone and cartilage within the pre-defined area and the Mako System helps the surgeon stay within the planned boundaries that were defined when the personalized pre-operative plan was created.
In a laboratory study, Mako Technology demonstrated accurate placement of implants to a personalized surgical plan. The robotic-arm does not perform surgery, make decisions on its own, or move without the surgeon guiding the robotic-arm. General indications: Total knee replacement is intended for use in individuals with joint disease resulting from degenerative, rheumatoid, and post-traumatic arthritis, and for moderate deformity of the knee.
Contraindications: Knee replacement surgery is not appropriate for patients with certain types of infections, any mental or neuromuscular disorder which would create an unacceptable risk of prosthesis instability, prosthesis fixation failure, or complications in postoperative care, compromised bone stock, skeletal immaturity, or severe instability of the knee.
As with any surgery, knee replacement surgery has serious risks which include, but are not limited to, peripheral neuropathies nerve damage , circulatory compromise including deep vein thrombosis blood clots in the legs , genitourinary disorders including kidney failure , gastrointestinal disorders including paralytic ileus loss of intestinal digestive movement , vascular disorders including thrombus blood clots , blood loss, or changes in blood pressure or heart rhythm , bronchopulmonary disorders including emboli, stroke or pneumonia , heart attack, and death.
Implant related risks which may lead to a revision include dislocation, loosening, fracture, nerve damage, heterotopic bone formation abnormal bone growth in tissue , wear of the implant, metal sensitivity, soft tissue imbalance, osteolysis localized progressive bone loss , and reaction to particle debris.
Knee implants may not provide the same feel or performance characteristics experienced with a normal healthy joint. Speak to your doctor to decide if joint replacement surgery is right for you. Individual results vary and not all patients will receive the same postoperative activity level.
The lifetime of a joint replacement is not infinite and varies with each individual. Your doctor will help counsel you about how to best maintain your activities in order to potentially prolong the lifetime of the device. Such strategies include not engaging in high-impact activities, such as running, as well as maintaining a healthy weight.
