OKLAHOMA CITY – MAKOplasty® robotic knee surgery is used to treat early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. This technology offers a more precise and consistent result for partial knee resurfacing and is available only at Bone and Joint Hospital at St. Anthony.

To learn more about MAKOplasty®, plan to attend a free educational luncheon hosted by Bone and Joint Hospital on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at noon, in the Education Center, 1111 N. Dewey Ave., Oklahoma City.

Thomas Tkach, M.D., will discuss a new, minimally invasive, robotic-assisted partial knee resurfacing procedure called MAKOplasty®. Dr. Tkach is an orthopedic surgeon on staff at Bone and Joint Hospital who specializes in joint reconstruction. He received his medical degree from the University of Oklahoma, College of Medicine.

MAKOplasty®. can be performed to treat osteoarthritis (OA) on two parts of the knee: the medial (inner portion), the patellofemoral (front portion), or both. Most MAKOplasty® patients experience a shorter hospital stay, minimal blood loss, quicker rehabilitation and a smaller scar. In addition, many people are able to return to an active lifestyle within weeks of the procedure.

Don’t let joint pain slow you down. Attend this free luncheon to learn more about the benefits of MAKOplasty®. Space is limited. Please register by calling (405) 552-9180.
