Santa Rosa Orthopaedics is proud to announce that Dr. Garrett Snyder is now offering MAKO robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacement. For patients living with knee pain from arthritis, this advanced technology offers a more personalized approach to knee replacement surgery.
Before surgery, a CT scan is used to create a 3D model of your knee. This helps Dr. Snyder plan the procedure based on your unique anatomy before you ever enter the operating room. During surgery, he guides the MAKO robotic arm and can make adjustments in real time, helping the procedure stay closely aligned with that personalized plan.
What does that mean for patients? In simple terms, it means a knee replacement that is planned specifically for you. For appropriate patients, MAKO may help reduce pain and support a smoother, faster recovery compared with manual techniques.
MAKO can also be used for both total and partial knee replacement. If arthritis has affected the entire knee, the technology helps Dr. Snyder plan a full knee replacement with precision. If only one part of the knee is worn out, a partial knee replacement may be an option, allowing the damaged area to be treated while preserving more of your natural knee.
Dr. Snyder is committed to helping patients get back to the activities they enjoy with treatment that fits their individual needs. MAKO gives him another advanced tool to tailor care, restore movement, and help patients return to daily life with greater confidence.
We Keep You in Motion
If knee pain is limiting your mobility and more conservative treatments are no longer providing relief, Dr. Snyder can help you determine whether MAKO partial or total knee replacement is right for you. To learn more or schedule a consultation, request an appointment with Santa Rosa Orthopaedics.
