Healthpoint, a premier surgical hospital in Abu Dhabi and part of the M42 network, is proud to be among the first in the UAE to adopt Mako SmartRobotics™ – a state-of-the-art robotic technology for hip and knee replacement surgeries. With the majority of our elective joint replacements now performed using robotic assistance, Healthpoint is setting a new benchmark in patient-centered orthopedic care.
Since the introduction of Mako SmartRobotics™ at Healthpoint, our expert robotic consultant surgeons have successfully performed over 1,000 robotic joint replacement surgeries with exceptional precision and outcomes. These include the region’s first Mako robotic-assisted total hip replacement, unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement, and patellofemoral joint replacement.
Patients have travelled to Healthpoint for robotic surgery from across the UAE, the wider GCC, and internationally – including Europe and the United States.
Mako SmartRobotics™ is an advanced, cutting-edge surgical platform that empowers orthopedic surgeons to perform highly precise, minimally invasive, and patient-specific joint replacement surgeries.
By combining a detailed pre-operative 3D CT scan with real-time intraoperative guidance, the Mako robotic arm enables:
This leads to significantly less soft tissue damage, lower blood loss, less pain, and faster recovery – ultimately improving the long-term success and function of the implant.
Robotic knee replacement surgery is ideal for patients experiencing chronic knee pain or mobility issues that haven’t improved with conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections. You may be a candidate if you have:
At Healthpoint, our orthopedic surgeons conduct a thorough clinical evaluation and imaging review to determine if robotic-assisted knee surgery is the right option for your specific condition.
Thanks to the precision of Mako SmartRobotics™, patients typically recover faster than with traditional hip replacement surgery. Most begin walking within 24 hours, return to daily activities within 3 to 6 weeks, and experience less pain and swelling.
At Healthpoint, recovery is further supported by enhanced rehabilitation protocols, including physiotherapy sessions tailored to each patient’s needs. Our integrated care approach ensures a smoother, safer, and quicker return to mobility and quality of life.
Patients undergoing Mako-assisted joint replacements at Healthpoint benefit from proven clinical outcomes:
Our robotic surgical program is on par with leading arthroplasty reference centers in the US and Europe in terms of both quality and safety. We combine advanced robotic precision with evidence-based enhanced recovery protocols to ensure every patient enjoys a rapid, smooth, and low-pain recovery journey.
At Healthpoint, technology is only as advanced as the experts behind it.
