Dr. Andrew J. Wassef –Mako SmartRobotics™ Specialist
In June of 2022, Andrew J. Wassef, MD, completed his 1000th Robotic-Arm Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery using Mako SmartRobotics™ technology. He serves as faculty for education and training for Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery and has helped certify hundreds of surgeons both nationally as well as internationally.
Mako SmartRobotics™ is an innovative solution for many suffering from painful arthritis of the hip and knee. Mako technology uses 3D CT-based planning software so your surgeon can know more about your anatomy to create a personalized joint replacement surgical plan. This helps surgeons during the pre-planning stage and also allows them to execute the surgical plan with a much higher level of precision.
In the operating room, your surgeon follows your personalized surgical plan while preparing the bone for the implant. The surgeon guides the Mako Robotic Arm within the predefined area, and Mako AccuStop™ technology helps the surgeon stay within the planned boundaries that were defined when the personalized preoperative plan was created. This process results in less soft tissue damage and increased precision.
