Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare, a leading rehabilitation hospital and specialized healthcare service provider, announced today that it is now offering Mako™ partial knee replacement, a minimally invasive treatment option for adults living with knee osteoarthritis that has not yet progressed to all three compartments of the knee. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Mako surgery provides early intervention of osteoarthritis and is less invasive than traditional total knee surgery. Casa Colina is one of the first in its region to acquire this technology, which is performed using a highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm system.
