What MAKOplasty® Knee Replacement Means
MAKOplasty® is a robotic-assisted platform that helps Dr. Gough plan your procedure in detail before surgery and execute it with greater precision during the operation.
MAKOplasty® knee replacement is a robotic-assisted approach that helps personalize surgery to the patient’s individual knee anatomy. Before the procedure, imaging is used to create a detailed surgical plan. During surgery, MAKOplasty® technology helps Dr. Brandon Gough make controlled, highly precise adjustments based on that plan. The result is a more individualized procedure designed to improve implant positioning, support knee balance, and help patients move forward with greater confidence.
Why Patients Ask Specifically About MAKOplasty®
Some patients search for MAKOplasty® by name because they want to understand the specific technology being used and why it may matter for their procedure.
3D Planning Before Surgery
Before surgery, imaging is used to map out the procedure in detail. This planning process helps Dr. Gough prepare for the exact shape, alignment, and needs of your knee before entering the operating room.
Precision During Implant Placement
MAKOplasty® helps support controlled, accurate implant placement during surgery. That level of precision is one reason many patients are drawn to a robotic-assisted approach.
Personalized to Your Knee
Every knee is different. MAKOplasty® allows the procedure to be planned around your anatomy rather than relying on a standard approach that treats every patient the same way.
Confidence in the Surgical Process
Many patients appreciate knowing that the procedure is being supported by advanced planning and robotic-assisted precision. It helps them feel more confident in both the surgery itself and the recovery process that follows.
