Dr. Christopher W. Palmer specializes in robotic-assisted knee replacement in Missouri, offering state-of-the-art orthopedic care to the St. Louis area. Utilizing advanced Mako robotic technology, Dr. Palmer ensures a muscle and tissue-sparing approach for both total and partial knee replacements, promoting faster recovery and improved outcomes.
For eligible patients, same-day joint replacement allows for recovery in the comfort of their own home. With precision-guided robotic techniques, Mako-assisted procedures offer a customized approach that optimizes implant positioning, enhances joint function, and minimizes trauma to surrounding structures.
Benefits of Mako Robotic Knee Replacement
Mako robotic-assisted knee replacement uses 3D CT-based planning to create a personalized surgical plan. The technology provides real-time feedback, allowing Dr. Palmer to make precise adjustments during surgery. This results in:
- Greater Accuracy: Enhanced precision in implant placement reduces complications and improves long-term function.
- Muscle and Tissue Preservation: Minimally invasive techniques protect surrounding soft tissues, reducing post-operative pain.
- Faster Recovery: Patients often experience shorter hospital stays and quicker rehabilitation.
- Improved Longevity of Implants: Optimal alignment and stability contribute to long-lasting results.
