Anterior Mako™ Hip Replacement
Minimally Invasive. Muscle-Sparing. Robotic Precision.
Experience faster recovery and better outcomes with the most advanced hip replacement technology—performed by fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon Dr. Nathan Moore.
What Is Anterior Mako™ Hip Replacement?
Anterior Mako™ Hip Replacement is a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approach to total hip replacement that combines the benefits of the anterior surgical technique with the accuracy of Mako™ robotic assistance.
Unlike traditional hip replacements that require cutting through major muscles, the anterior approach allows Dr. Moore to access the hip joint between natural muscle planes, which typically results in:
- Less post-operative pain
- Faster recovery and mobility
- Reduced risk of dislocation
The addition of Mako™ robotic technology allows for personalized surgical planning and sub-millimeter accuracy during the procedure, helping ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.
Why Patients Choose Anterior Mako™
✅ Minimally Invasive: Uses a front (anterior) approach that avoids cutting major muscles
✅ Fellowship-Trained Surgeon: Dr. Moore specializes in joint replacement with advanced training
✅ Mako™ Robotic Precision: Personalized 3D planning and real-time surgical guidance
✅ Faster Recovery: Many patients walk the same day and return to daily life sooner
✅ Lower Dislocation Risk: Improved joint stability through precise implant positioning
How Robotic Assistance Makes a Difference
Mako™ robotic technology allows Dr. Moore to create a customized 3D model of your hip before surgery. During the procedure, the robotic arm helps guide implant placement with unmatched precision, ensuring a natural-feeling result that’s built to last.
Benefits of Mako™ Assistance:
- Accurate implant sizing and positioning
- Improved alignment and joint balance
- Fewer complications and revisions
- Better long-term outcomes
This is not a robot performing surgery—Dr. Moore is always in control, using the robotic system as a tool to achieve the best results for your individual anatomy.
