When hip and knee pain begins to steal your quality of life, the thought of surgery can be daunting. But what if you knew that new technology was making joint replacement more precise and personalized than ever before?
Edwin Theosmy, D.O., a hip and knee replacement surgeon at Old Bridge Medical Center, is at the forefront of this revolution. He utilizes Mako SmartRobotics, a groundbreaking system that allows for incredible accuracy during surgery. Dr. Theosmy explains that he can make millimeter adjustments to an implant's position that are impossible to see with the naked eye.
What makes this technology a game-changer? The Mako system creates a virtual boundary—a "visual force field"—that protects surrounding tissues and ensures the implant is placed exactly according to the pre-surgical plan. This can lead to a more stable joint, a lower chance of needing a "re-do" surgery, and a smoother recovery. With Old Bridge being one of the first hospitals to feature the newest Mako robot, Dr. Theosmy is offering patients a glimpse into the future of orthopedic surgery.
Learn how experts like Dr. Theosmy are using robotic assistance to transform joint replacement surgery and help patients get back to their lives faster. Read the full story to learn more.
