Wiki Mako Unicompartmental Knee

[cwilson3333]

Doctor said to schedule patient for a MAKO Unicompartment Knee Procedure.

Is this different from CPT 27446?

Never have heard of a "MAKO" knee replacement?

Hope someone out there can let me know if this is just a one-compartment knee replacement, resurfacing, or something entirely different?

Thanks,

CW

You might want to try beginning with these CPTs 27446, 20985, and S2900.
