Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center is now offering MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing, a minimally invasive treatment option for adults living with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis (OA) that has not yet progressed to all three compartments of the knee.

Lindsey T. Klingensmith, public relations manager of Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center, made the announcement Feb. 12.

According to a press release, "MAKOplasty is less invasive than traditional total knee surgery and is performed using RIO, a highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm system. Memorial Hermann Memorial City is the first and only hospital in west Houston to acquire this technology."

Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center is located at 921 Gessner Road, Houston.
