The Stryker Mako system
When the Stryker Mako Robotic-arm system is used for hip replacement surgery, it is necessary to obtain a CT scan a few weeks before admission. The scan will be undertaken at the Lister hospital using special scanning protocol so the the alignment of the pelvis, hip and knee are known. The scan will then be uploaded for surgical planning by the Stryker Mako specialist and your surgeon. Only when these steps have been completed can your operation be undertaken. Please ensure that you speak to your surgeon’s secretary to check that the a date for your scan is arranged and that the planning has been completed prior to your admission for surgery
