Joint replacement and Mako robotic surgery
For many patients with advanced hip or knee arthritis, joint replacement restores comfortable movement after other treatments have stopped working. Artesia General Hospital offers Mako robotic-arm assisted joint replacement for total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacement. Before surgery, a CT scan builds a 3D model of your joint, the plan is mapped to your own anatomy rather than a standard template, and the system gives your surgeon real-time guidance during the procedure. The robotic arm does not operate on its own; your surgeon performs the surgery and stays in control at every step.
In August 2026, AGH brings the next-generation Mako 4 to the Bone and Joint Center in Artesia. You can schedule your joint replacement consultation now and plan your care around the new system.
“Using the Mako allows me to tailor each joint replacement to the patient’s unique anatomy.” — Dr. Marshall Baca, MD
Learn more about Mako joint replacement at the AGH Bone and Joint Center, or call (575) 885-2188 to ask whether you are a candidate.
