Mako SmartRobotics™

Dr. Cieply has been certified in Mako SmartRobotics robotic arm-assisted surgical technology since 2013. Mako SmartRobotics is an innovative surgical solution for many suffering with painful arthritis of the hip or knee and enables patients to have a more predictable experience when undergoing joint replacement surgery. Before surgery, a CT scan of the hip or knee is obtained for the surgeon to reference during surgery to carry out a more personalized joint replacement procedure. Patient benefits include precise placement of the implant, less pain and a quicker recovery than traditional joint replacements and reduced risk of surgical complications.

Direct Anterior Approach

Dr. Cieply believes in using a direct anterior surgical approach in hip replacement surgery, a muscle-sparing technique that allows an implant to be set without cutting the muscle. During hip replacement surgery using a direct anterior approach, the hip joint is accessed through a natural interval between muscles. Typically, the incision with a direct anterior approach is smaller compared to a traditional approach, and recovery time may be quicker for some patients.
