1,000th Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgeries Milestone

JUPITER, Fla. – July 12, 2024 – Jupiter Medical Center is proud to announce a remarkable milestone: the completion of 1,000 Mako robotic-arm-assisted joint replacement surgeries. This achievement underscores the center's dedication to utilizing cutting-edge technology to enhance patient care and outcomes.

Mako SmartRobotics™ utilizes 3D CT-based planning, allowing physicians to create a personalized surgical approach based on each patient’s unique anatomy before entering the operating room. This advanced planning not only improves surgical outcomes but also leads to reduced pain, quicker recovery, and ultimately patients returning to the things they love.

"We are grateful to our exceptional orthopedic surgeons who continually strive to provide the best possible care for our patients," said Amit Rastogi, MD, MHCM, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. “Congratulations to our entire orthopedic team. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence are the foundation of our success and the high-quality care we provide our patients.”

Jupiter Medical Center remains distinguished as the only hospital in Florida to earn all five of these highly coveted recognitions:

• Blue Distinction Center+ for Knee and Hip Replacement
• Blue Distinction Center+ for Spine Surgery
• The Joint Commission Certification for meeting the highest national patient safety and quality of care standards in Hip and Knee Replacement, Shoulder Replacement, and Spine Surgery.

Mako SmartRobotics™ is Stryker’s most advanced surgical system and the most recent addition to the Jupiter Medical Center orthopedic program. The addition reaffirms JMC’s commitment to providing physicians with the most innovative and technology.
