ST. CHARLES HOSPITAL IS THE FIRST & ONLY ON LONG ISLAND TO OFFER MAKOPLASTY® PARTIAL KNEE RESURFACING
St. Charles Hospital announced that it is the first and only hospital on Long Island to offer MAKOplasty® partial knee resurfacing. MAKOplasty® is a minimally invasive treatment option for adults living with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis (OA) that has not yet progressed to all three compartments of the knee. MAKOplasty is less invasive than traditional total knee surgery and is performed using RIO®, a highly advanced, surgeon controlled robotic arm system.
MAKOplasty potentially offers the following benefits as compared to total knee surgery:
Reduced pain.
Minimal hospitalization.
More rapid recovery.
Less implant wear and loosening.
Smaller scar.
Better motion and a more natural feeling knee.
