What is MAKO Robotic Shoulder Replacement?

MAKO robotic-assisted total shoulder replacement is a cutting-edge surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function in shoulders affected by severe arthritis or joint degeneration. Using advanced 3D planning and robotic technology, your surgeon can personalise your surgery for greater accuracy and improved outcomes.

MEET THE SURGEON

Dr Joe Coory is proud to be the only surgeon on the Sunshine Coast currently offering MAKO robotic assisted shoulder replacement at Buderim Private Hospital.

How It Works

Before surgery, a CT scan is used to create a detailed 3D model of your shoulder. This model helps your surgeon plan the ideal size, placement, and alignment of the implant.

During surgery, the MAKO robotic arm provides real-time guidance, helping your surgeon precisely execute the plan while preserving healthy bone and soft tissue. It’s important to note that the surgeon remains in control at all times—the robotic system is a tool to enhance precision.

Potential Benefits of MAKO Robotic Shoulder Surgery

  • Personalised surgical planning
  • Greater precision in implant placement
  • Improved joint alignment and balance
  • Potential for faster recovery and better long-term function

Is It Right for You?

MAKO robotic-assisted total shoulder replacement is typically recommended for patients with:

  • Severe osteoarthritis or joint degeneration
  • Rotator cuff arthropathy
  • Pain and stiffness not relieved by non-surgical treatments

Your orthopaedic surgeon will assess your condition and help determine if MAKO technology is appropriate for your needs.

What to Expect After Surgery

Recovery includes physiotherapy to help restore strength and range of motion. Most patients experience improved comfort and mobility within a few months, although full recovery can take several months depending on your individual circumstances.
