RoboDoc on MAKO Robotic Calibration

This 1-minute video highlights the calibration process for the MAKO Robotic Arm, which is used during robotic knee and hip replacement surgeries. Here is a summary of the demonstration:

• Pre-Operative Planning: The first half of the video features robotic surgeon Mr. Nadim Aslam demonstrating how patient CT scans are analyzed on-screen. This software calculates the precise anatomy, angles, and placement targets for the joint implant.

• System Calibration: The second half shows the calibration process in the operating room. A technician adjusts the settings on a console while the surgeon interfaces with the MAKO robotic arm. By locking a calibration tool into the arm, the system precisely maps out its range of motion and tracking orientation to ensure maximum accuracy before the procedure begins.

The video serves as a brief showcase of the high-precision technology used at the Worcestershire Knee and Hip Clinic.
