MAKO unveils hip Arthroplasty...

MAKO Surgical Corp. (MAKO) today announced the commercial availability of the RIO(R) Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System for use in total hip replacement procedures, called MAKOplasty(R) Total Hip Arthroplasty.

MAKO's total hip replacement application is designed to support the surgeon's ability to more accurately align and position the implants relative to the needs of a patient. This may reduce potential complications associated with conventional hip replacement surgery. MAKOplasty Total Hip Arthroplasty provides a surgeon with a pre-operative 3-D reconstruction of the patient's hip and is used to develop the patient-specific surgical plan. The robotic-arm then assists the surgeon during the procedure to accurately prepare the joint and optimally place hip implants.

MAKO is one of our favorite growth stcoks...it is currently up 1.13 to 37.42.  It is near all time highs.
