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.Whats the point of Mako when all the companies now have custom cutting blocks? I still just don't get it. Enlighten me
