Sierra Medical Center announced on April 4 it has acquired the MAKOplasty system, which offers people who have knee and hip issues access to less invasive, less painful surgeries with rapid recovery time. Sierra is the first to acquire the technology in the El Paso region and is now performing MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing. Soon the hospital will also offer MAKOplasty Hip, total hip replacement surgery performed using the RIO system, a highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm system that enables the accurate alignment and positioning of implants.
