Having a robot and 3D computer software help your surgeon design and place a perfect-fitting implant to replace your knee and hip joint may have seemed like something out of a science fiction movie just a few years ago, but today it is science fact.

MAKO robotic-arm assisted surgery helps surgeons ensure patients will receive a custom-fit partial knee or hip replacement resulting in faster recovery, less pain and less stress. In fact, many patients are able to return home the same day as the surgery thanks to the technology.

Eric G. Bonenberger, M.D., a board certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive joint replacement surgery, was instrumental in bringing the technology to the Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital (DPH).
