At the 2025 AAHKS Annual Meeting, our host Craig R. Mahoney, MD had the opportunity to sit with Vice President of Marketing Lauren Venekas and discuss Stryker’s award-winning product Mako SmartRobotics. The advancements made to the Mako SmartRobotics won Stryker the 2025 Industry Innovation Award. 

An award that’s truly deserved because Stryker is revolutionizing robotic hip replacements from primary to revision. The expanded application is the first-to-market robotically enabled revision hip solution in a single application. Lauren explains how Mako Total Hip now serves primary, complex primary and revision indications with advanced planning features like screw and augment planning, plus stem planning, and is now compatible with Stryker’s revision hip products, including Restoration Modular. We think you’ll enjoy this podcast and learning about the journey of the Mako SmartRobotics. 

Enjoy, and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!
