As we approach the end of 2020, this seems a good moment to pause and reflect on this extraordinary year and everything we have learned. I doubt that any of us would have predicted quite what a challenging year this was going to be and how much our everyday life would be disrupted by the…
Making a rapid recovery from surgery involves managing your pain effectively, being able to mobilise early and healing well from your wounds. One of the reasons that Carrothers Orthopaedics uses Mako robotic arm assisted technology in joint replacement surgery is that it helps patients to recover more quickly so they can rehabilitate and get back…
A small number of orthopaedic surgeons, including Carrothers Orthopaedics, are offering Mako robotic arm assisted surgery for patients undergoing partial and total knee replacement or total hip replacement procedures. This ground-breaking technology provides some important benefits over traditional surgical techniques. In this blog we explore what the difference is between traditional and robotic arm-assisted technology,…
Yesterday, Mr Andrew Carrothers reached a personal milestone in completing his 100th Mako robotic assisted surgery procedure at Nuffield Health Cambridge, with the help of his team.
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty – also called partial knee replacement or minimally invasive partial knee replacement – is a surgical procedure used to treat isolated areas of severe knee arthritis.
Every person’s anatomy is unique. When it comes to hip and knee replacement surgery, using Mako robotic arm assisted technology gives the orthopaedic surgeon more information about your anatomy which means they can very accurately plan your surgery and therefore cut away less of your bone and damage less of your other soft tissues.
A partial knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged compartment of your knee with a prosthetic implant. A new system of robotic-arm technology is helping orthopaedic surgeons to perform this type of surgery with greater accuracy than ever before. We are one of a small group of orthopaedic surgeons to use the…
The Mako system supports orthopaedic surgeons to perform total knee replacements with greater accuracy than ever before, resulting in even better outcomes for patients.
An innovative robotic arm called Mako is revolutionising total hip replacement surgery, leading to reduced pain and likely long-term better outcomes for patients.
Andrew Carrothers headed up the team at Nuffield Cambridge yesterday to successfully complete the 100th Mako case! This is a great milestone showing that robotic-assisted surgery is taking orthopaedics to the next level in terms of accuracy and success rates.
