At Bath Clinic Mr Robinson and our team of highly qualified professionals work with the Mako® robotic-arm. This is specifically designed technology developed for complex hip and knee replacement surgeries. The technology comprises a navigation system combined with a robotic arm. This form of surgery allots for more accurate results, less trauma to the bone and tissue, which lends to better surgical results, less pain, and a faster post-operative recovery.
