Meet the MAKO
with Bluegrass Orthopaedics' 
Total Joint Team

Bluegrass Orthopaedics & Bluegrass Specialty Surgery Center is the first orthopaedic practice, surgery center, or hospital in the Bluegrass Region to offer Mako SmartRobotics™. This advancement in joint replacement surgery transforms the way partial and total knee replacements are performed.

"With Mako SmartRobotics™ for Knee Replacement, I know more about my patients than ever before. I am able to perform knee replacements based on each patient's unique anatomy and ligament tension. For most patients, this can means less soft tissue damage, less postoperative pain, quicker recovery and improved function." said Dr. Kevin Denehy, Total Joint Specialist at Bluegrass Orthopaedics. "Mako's 3D CAT Scan allows me to create a personalized plan based on each patient's unique anatomy, all before entering the operating room. During surgery, I can validate that plan and make any necessary adjustments while guiding the robotic arm to execute that plan. It's exciting to be able to offer this transformative technology across the joint replacement service line to perform total and partial knee replacements.
