Oklahoma City –  Bone and Joint Hospital at St. Anthony will host a free educational luncheon on MAKOplasty® robotic knee surgery on Tuesday, July 26, at noon, in the Education Center, 1111 N. Dewey Ave., Oklahoma City.

MAKOplasty® 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.  The system provides the surgeon a pre-surgical plan that details the technique for bone preparation and customized implant positioning using a CT scan of the patient’s knee.

Mark Kowalski, M.D., will discuss the new, minimally invasive, robotic-assisted partial knee resurfacing procedure.  Dr. Kowalski is a fellowship-trained, board certified orthopedic surgeon on staff at Bone and Joint Hospital with a medical degree from the University of Oklahoma, College of Medicine.

Attend this free luncheon to learn more about the benefits of MAKOplasty®.  Space is limited.  Please register by calling (405) 979-7814.
