What is it indicated for?

The Mako System is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures. The Mako System is indicated for use in surgical knee and hip procedures in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be identified relative to a CT based model of the anatomy.

These procedures include:

* Unicondylar knee replacement and/or patellofemoral knee replacement

* Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
