Knee balancing is one of the most important steps during total knee replacement surgery, and it directly affects how stable and natural your knee feels after recovery. During Mako robotic knee replacement, your surgeon uses 3D CT-based planning and real-time intraoperative data to measure soft tissue tension and ligament balance with sub-millimeter precision. Research shows that traditional manual techniques achieve a balanced knee in only about 50% of cases, while robotic-assisted methods combined with sensor feedback can reach up to 87%. Dr. Cory Calendine, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint replacement in the Nashville, TN area, explains what knee balancing means for patients, how the Mako system achieves better soft tissue balance, and why it matters for your long-term outcome after knee replacement surgery.

During robotic-assisted knee replacement, small reflective devices called tracking arrays are temporarily pinned to the femur and tibia to give the robotic system a live, three-dimensional view of the patient's bone position throughout the entire procedure. Acting as a GPS for the knee, these arrays link the preoperative CT scan plan to the real anatomy on the operating table, allowing the surgeon to place the implant with sub-millimeter accuracy while haptic boundary technology protects the surrounding soft tissues from unintended damage. Dr. Cory Calendine, an orthopedic surgeon at the Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee near Nashville, explains how tracking arrays work, why they matter for implant precision and longevity, and what patients should know before their robotic knee replacement surgery.
