Iredell Health System is the first hospital in Iredell County to offer Mako SmartRobotics™. This robotic-arm assisted technology transforms how total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacements are performed by helping surgeons know more and cut less. Mako SmartRobotics is used in hip and knee joint replacement to allow precise placement of implants, optimal for each patient. It also helps protect soft tissues and ligaments in the patient’s joint.
