Dr. Wagner works with MAKO®, an industry leader in surgical robotics to bring a new level of accuracy and precision to joint replacement surgery.

Meet the MAKO ® Robotic-Arm System

Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted surgery enables a new level of accuracy and precision for joint replacement surgery. Mako is used by our surgeons for partial knee resurfacing, total knee replacements, and total hip replacements. The surgeon controlled robotic arm helps surgeons get a patient-specific image and more precisely place and align implants used in joint replacement surgery.

Pre-Surgery

A personalized plan. It begins with a CT scan of the joint that is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako system software and is used to create a personalized pre-operative plan.

In the Operating Room

During surgery, your surgeon guides the robotic-arm while preparing the joint and positioning the implant based on the personalized pre-operative plan. The Mako system also allows the surgeon to make adjustments to the plan during surgery, as needed. When the surgeon prepares the bone for the implant, the Mako system guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area and helps prevent the surgeon from moving outside the planned boundaries. This helps provide more accurate placement and alignment of the implant.

After Surgery

Your surgeon, nurses and physical therapists will set goals to get you moving again. They will closely monitor your condition and progress. Your surgeon may review an X-ray of the new joint replacement with you.

HOW IT WORKS

Hip Replacement Surgery

If you’re one of the millions of Americans suffering from pain caused by arthritis or an injury to the hip, and you haven’t experienced adequate relief with conservative treatment options, Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery might be right for you.

What Patients Say

Gwen W.

Dr. Wagner was as kind and knowledgeable as his great reputation. He explained what I needed, right to the point and was not rushed and answered any questions I had. He was quite familiar with 2 other conditions I had and quelled any concerns about how these conditions might or might not interfere with my upcoming hip replacement. I am confident that I made the right choice having him as my surgeon. This was a great first experience at ROC. My husband had highly recommended them as he has had several procedures there. The support staff were wonderful as well.

Gwen W.

Julie L.

Many thanks to Dr. Wagner who took the time to listen. I appreciate that!

Maria B.

I have had a medial tear repair and hip labral tears in both hips. All 3 surgeries were done by Dr Wagner arthroscopically. He is terrific, very knowledgeable, empathetic, quite knowledgable and one of the best arthroscopic surgeons on the west coast plus his bed side manner is wonderful. I scar and keloid easily but his incisions are barely noticeable and I’m only 6 months post right hip labral tear debridement. Definitely recommend.

The best of all worlds.

My new hip is fabulous and the surgery went like a dream (well, I WAS under anesthesia!) at their outpatient facility. Not only does the new hip feel great but I can play 3 or 4 sets of tennis again.

Dr. Wagner perfectly executed a hip replacement on my left hip in early March and I was at full mobility, pain free and with zero side effects well before the end of March
I have returned to Dr. Wagner to investigate issues with my right knee and, as expected, he has provided the same excellence in inquiry, diagnosis and issue resolution that I’d come to expect.

Lauren L.

I've been dealing with hip pain for close to two years, and I continued to come up with excuses as to why I should wait for a replacement. And then, from the moment I arrived at the appointment till when I left (maybe 3 hours) - my life changed. No more pain, no more agony. Every single team member from the receptionists, to the nurses, anesthesiologists (and of course, my wonderful surgeon), were nothing short of fantastic. Every single one of them was friendly, patient, kind and REALLY took an interest in me, my health, and my surgical journey. I couldn't be more grateful.

Theresa B.

Diane G.

I was concerned that I needed a hip replacement (having had the other hip replaced 9 years ago with a different surgeon). My first visit to the practice left a very positive impression on me. Everyone was hospitable, professional and friendly. Dr. Wagner took the time to evaluate and listen. Turns out my hip has a different issue, which will be further investigated and treatment options will be discussed. Grateful to have found Dr. Wagner!

Olivia R.

Having my hip replacement at ROC by Dr. Wagner could not have been a better experience for me. From the consultation, pre-op period through my 6-week post-op checkup, Dr. Wagner and the entire staff of ROC and the Oregon Surgical Institute were excellent, the very best. There was so much support including education, what to expect via phone, text, computer and face to face. Whenever I had a question or needed some advice or had a concern, they were there for me with a smile and the answers and care I needed. I love my new hip!

Kristin H.

What an outstanding experience. I started having pain and issues with my hip which got progressively worse in April 2023. After massage, PT, and a Cortizone injection, it was clear nothing was going to work. I was devastated to learn that at age 49 I would need a hip replacement. Dr. Wagner did an amazing job explaining all my options, but ultimately it was clear that surgery was necessary. He and his team go above and beyond for patients in answering questions, getting authorizations, navigating leave of absence paperwork and overall communication.
