MAKOPlasty partial knee replacement patient story - 1 year post op

Our patient was badly injured while walking a huge black labrador who shot off after a squirrel. She was told by 3 different surgeons that she needed a total knee replacement. She found Dr. Stone through his TED talk. She had hoped that she could have had a BioKnee replacement but unfortunately, she was not a candidate for that procedure. However, she was able to have a partial knee replacement where just the damaged part of the knee was replaced. "You need to question somebody when they tell you you need a total knee replacement .... I've been thrilled. I tell everybody!" ----- Dr. Stone is biased toward replacing injured knee tissues biologically, with new meniscus cartilage and paste grafted articular cartilage, but for those patients with true bone-on-bone, worn-out knees, The Stone Clinic helps return athletes to sports by with a robotically-assisted partial knee joint replacement. For unparalleled accuracy in placement, we use the MAKO Surgical Corp Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopaedic System. The system robotically guides the surgeon to precisely replace the joint, resulting in better alignment and reducing the risk of early wear. This process of joint replacement is minimally invasive and provides rapid pain relief with a return to an active lifestyle within weeks for most patients and unlike a total knee replacement that unnecessarily removes healthy parts of your knee, a partial knee replacement preserves your healthy tissue and only replaces the damaged areas.
