Wisconsin’s Only Robotic-Assisted Hip Surgery
The Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, in conjunction with University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison, WI is the only health system in the state to offer robotic-assisted hip replacement  for patients with degenerative hip joint disease.
 
Hip replacement, also known as total hip arthroplasty, using the MAKOplasty® surgical robot may be a treatment option for adults living with degenerative hip joint disease and provides a customized surgical service that is catered to the patient's specific hip characteristics.

The Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation is dedicated to making the referral process as efficient as possible for physicians, health care providers, and patients. We have two systems in place to help meet your referral needs.

Together we will work to provide your patient with the best possible care and treatment.
