MAKO Certified: Advancing Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery with Precision and Innovation

Hip Replacement Surgery

At Dr. Prajyot Jagtap Orthopaedic Clinic, we believe that continuous learning and adopting the latest technology are essential to providing the highest standard of patient care. I am delighted to share an important professional milestone—I have successfully completed the **MAKO Robotic Joint Replacement Certification Program.

This certification adds another advanced robotic platform to my expertise, further strengthening my ability to perform robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement surgeries with greater precision and personalization.

What is MAKO Robotic-Assisted Surgery?

MAKO is an advanced robotic-arm assisted system designed to help surgeons perform total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and total hip replacement with exceptional accuracy. Unlike conventional techniques, MAKO uses a patient-specific surgical plan based on a CT scan, allowing for precise implant positioning while preserving healthy bone and soft tissues whenever possible.

The robotic system does not replace the surgeon. Instead, it enhances the surgeon's expertise by providing real-time feedback and improved accuracy throughout the procedure.

Why This Matters for Patients

With robotic-assisted joint replacement, patients may benefit from:

  • Improved implant positioning and alignment
  • Personalized surgical planning
  • Better preservation of healthy tissues
  • Enhanced precision during surgery
  • Faster rehabilitation in many cases
  • Potentially improved long-term implant performance

While every patient's recovery is unique, robotic technology aims to improve surgical consistency and optimize outcomes.

A Commitment to Continuous Excellence

With this certification, I am now trained across multiple robotic joint replacement platforms, enabling me to choose the most appropriate technology based on each patient's individual needs. My commitment has always been to combine surgical expertise with evidence-based innovations that enhance patient care.

Acknowledgements

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Stryker and MAKO teams for delivering an outstanding training program and providing continuous support throughout the certification process.

A special thank you to Zynova Shalby Hospital for facilitating this excellent hands-on cadaveric training program, creating an ideal environment for advanced surgical learning.

I am also deeply grateful to the renowned Dr. Pradeep Bhosale for sharing his invaluable experience, practical surgical pearls, tips and tricks, and expert guidance. Learning from a surgeon of his stature was both inspiring and enriching.

Looking Ahead

Medicine continues to evolve, and so does my commitment to offering my patients the most advanced, safe, and effective treatment options available. Achievements like the MAKO certification are not merely professional milestones—they represent a promise to continually improve the quality of care I provide.

If you are considering robotic knee replacement or robotic hip replacement and would like to know whether it is suitable for you, I would be happy to discuss your options and guide you toward the best treatment plan.
