Our Technology
At OIBO, we rise above mediocre, profit-centered medicine. We currently utilize the following devices.
Mako SmartRobotics
It is important for our patients to understand that the SmartRobotics do not actually perform the surgery. The surgery is performed by an orthopaedic surgeon, who guides Mako's robotic arm during the surgery to position the implant in the knee and hip joints. Mako SmartRobotics does not perform surgery, make decisions independently, or move without the surgeon guiding it. Mako SmartRobotics also allows your surgeon to adjust your plan during surgery as needed. Mako SmartRobotics is an innovative solution for many suffering from painful arthritis of the knee or hip.
CORI Surgical System
The CORI Surgical System uses hand-held robotics-assisted technology that helps Dr. Rodricks plan and perform your unique knee replacement procedure. This robotics-assisted approach is efficient and more accurate than traditional knee surgery and is designed to ensure optimal implant selection and positioning based on your unique anatomy. The end result is a more natural-feeling knee.
Unlike other robotics-assisted platforms, the CORI Surgical System's real-time planning eliminates the need to undergo a preoperative CT scan, thereby reducing patient exposure to potentially harmful radiation.
Benefits of Mako Robotic-Assisted Surgery
OIBO'S World-Class physicians treat a wide range of conditions.
Through CT-based 3D modeling of bone anatomy, surgeons can use the Mako System to create a personalized surgical plan and identify the desired implant size, orientation, and alignment based on each patient's unique anatomy. The Mako System also enables surgeons to virtually modify the surgical plan intraoperatively and assists them in executing bone resections.
Our Philosophy
Our HIstory
Why We Merged
Why We Joined ONJ
Since 2007, more than 300,000 total procedures, including total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacements, have been performed with Mako across 26 countries worldwide. Mako is the first and only robotic technology that can be used across the joint replacement service line to perform total knee, total hip, and partial knee replacements.
- SmartRobotics means we cut less and have shorter recovery times.
- Robotic-arm-assisted surgery is available in all 50 US states.
- Robotics can transform the way total knee replacements are performed.
- Robotic-arm-assisted surgery has been associated with less pain, less need for PT, and reduced hospital stay compared to traditional methods.
Candidates for Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery
Robotic orthopaedic surgery is ideal for individuals experiencing chronic joint pain, stiffness, or limited mobility that does not improve with conservative treatments.
Candidates often include:
- Those with advanced arthritis in the hip or knee.
- Individuals requiring partial or total joint replacements.
- Patients seeking greater surgical precision, shorter recovery times, and reduced risk of complications.
- Individuals with unique anatomy or complex joint conditions that require a high level of customization.
A thorough consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon can help determine if robotic-assisted surgery is the right choice based on your medical history, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Procedures Performed Using Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery
Robotic orthopaedic surgery is commonly used for procedures that require high precision and customized treatment plans. The most frequent applications include:
- Total and partial knee replacement: The robotic system assists in accurately aligning and positioning implants to ensure optimal function and longevity.
- Hip replacement surgery: Robotic assistance improves the placement of implants, reducing the risk of dislocation and improving overall joint stability.
- Revision surgeries: Robotic technology can be used to correct or improve the outcome of previous joint procedures.
These are just some of the most common applications. The enhanced accuracy provided by robotic systems results in better outcomes, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications, making it an excellent option for many other orthopaedic procedures.
Traditional vs. Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery
Traditional orthopaedic surgery:
- Relies on a surgeon's experience and manual techniques to perform procedures.
- Implant positioning is based on visual estimation and standard surgical instruments.
- Higher variability in outcomes due to the potential for human error.
- Longer recovery time with a higher risk of post-operative complications.
- Limited ability to customize procedures based on the patient's unique anatomy.
Robotic orthopaedic surgery:
- Utilizes advanced imaging and robotic assistance to guide precise implant placement.
- Personalized pre-surgical planning allows for better alignment and balance.
- Reduces the margin of error, leading to improved accuracy and consistency.
- Faster recovery and less post-operative pain due to minimally invasive techniques.
- The greater ability to customize the procedure to fit the patient's anatomy results in better long-term outcomes.
In summary, robotic surgery enhances precision and predictability, while traditional surgery relies more on manual expertise and standard techniques.
