Mako Robotic technology has been introduced at the Jersey City Medical Center.
The robotic surgery is used for joint replacements of the knee and hip and will enhance the orthopedic capabilities of the hospital, helping it provide greater care for the community.
With the Mako robotic arm, surgeons can perform a pre-surgery knee replacement in a virtual environment so that positioning of the knee can be more precise based on various kinds of cross-sectional imaging. The technology enables patients to have knee implants that last longer and may eliminate the need for revisions. The technology also often leads to reduced stiffness, less pain, faster recovery times, and minimized trauma.
To help patients requiring such replacements, brochure printing is often used to provide more details about such procedures and their benefits.
President and Chief Executive Officer of Jersey City Medical Center, Michael Prilutsky, said that the Mako robotic arm is a breakthrough in the commitment of the hospital to changing orthopedic care in the area. He added that this demonstrates how the hospital is working to enhance, heal, and invest in the city and the county.
The Hip and Knee Replacement Program Jersey of City Medical Center has been certified by the DNV, which is an international accredited classification society headquartered in Høvik, Norway. This certification recognizes the exceptional patient care, comprehensive approach to knee and hip replacement services, and outcomes of the Medical Center.
