Does Mako have near term plans to provide total knee replacement? Thanks

I read that they have patents filed for total knee but not sure when it will be available commercially.

Hmm. I see those patents published last month. No 510k clearances pending except for a hip update? Found this on another board. Check this out

(Mass General Orthopedics BioMechanics Lab)
2010-2013. Role: PI Mako Surgical
Biomimetic total knee design
Goal: Develop a total knee design that retains both the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in an effort to obtain a more functional total knee reconstruction. Implement the use of the prostheses with a haptic robotic device.

Based on what I've seen with the uni, it allows for interop flexibility. Based on recent studies (JBJS Trumatch) these blocks aren't perfect.

Stryker's own public announcements have said they are planning on starting the clinical use of a TKR based on the Mako technology sometime later this year/early next year if I remember correctly.
