Slate Hill and Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania proudly announce the successful completion of its very first MAKO™ hip arthroplasty.

Dr. Dan Kim, utilizing Stryker’s MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted System, completed Slate Hill’s very first MAKO hip replacement. The MAKO procedure combines precise 3D-CT surgical planning with the benefits of robotic haptic guidance to enhance implant accuracy and alignment.

“Our team is thrilled to bring this state-of-the-art MAKO technology into Slate Hill,” said Erin Maher, Director of Nursing. “Patients here benefit from a highly personalized surgical plan, exceptional implant positioning, and the prospect of less soft tissue disruption and quicker recovery—all while enjoying the ease and comfort of same-day discharge.”

✅Arthroscopic (Are-thraa-ska-pic) surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes a small camera to look inside a joint, diagnose problems, and in many cases treat them at the same time.

Instead of making a large incision, the surgeon makes a few very small cuts (usually less than a centimeter each) and inserts an arthroscope, a thin tube with a tiny camera and light at the end.

This projects images of the joint onto a screen, allowing the surgeon to see inside the joint with great clarity. Special miniature instruments can then be inserted through other small incisions to perform the repair.

✅Common joints treated with arthroscopy (are-thraa-ska-pee):

* Knee
* Shoulder
* Hip
* Elbow
* Wrist
* Ankle

✅Typical conditions treated with arthroscopy:

* Torn meniscus or ligaments (ACL, rotator cuff)
* Cartilage damage
* Loose bone or cartilage fragments
* Joint inflammation (e.g., synovitis)
* Impingement syndromes
* Some cases of arthritis

✅ Advantages over open surgery:

* Smaller incisions → less scarring
* Less pain after surgery
* Lower risk of infection
* Shorter recovery time
* Often performed as **outpatient surgery** (no hospital stay)
