MAKO Stryker
— precision you can trust
The MAKO Stryker robot-assisted system is a modern standard in large joint replacement surgery, combining high-precision computer-based planning with real-time control at every stage of the procedure.
During surgery, the robotic assistant helps the surgeon strictly follow the planned boundaries, reducing the risk of deviation and improving the accuracy of implant placement. This approach ensures predictable outcomes, minimizes soft tissue trauma, and supports faster patient recovery after surgery.
The use of the MAKO system is especially important in cases where maximum precision, implant longevity, and high functional outcomes are required.
Maximum accuracy of implant placement
Faster recovery and less pain
Minimal soft tissue damage
Longer implant lifespan
The first step toward treatment is an honest conversation with your doctor
During the consultation, we will review your situation, answer your questions, and discuss possible treatment options — without rush and without unrealistic promises.

Clinic AssistantStages of treatment
Online consultation
An online consultation allows you to discuss your condition, complaints, and symptoms in advance. You can submit imaging studies and medical documents, ask questions, and receive a preliminary treatment plan before visiting the clinic.
Examination and 3D surgical planning
All necessary examinations are performed within one day. A CT scan of the joint is conducted, followed by computer-based 3D surgical planning and implant selection to ensure maximum precision.
Surgery
On the second day of the clinic stay, the surgical procedure is performed. Original implants by Stryker Corporation (USA) and the MAKO robotic-assisted system are used, ensuring a high level of precision in implant positioning.
Rehabilitation and follow-up
Recovery begins immediately after surgery. In most cases, you will be able to start walking on the day of the procedure. After discharge, we continue to provide online follow-up care, including recovery guidance, rehabilitation monitoring, and answers to any questions that may arise.
Patient trust is the best measure of our work
I had stage IV hip osteoarthritis and lived with pain for nearly 10 years. Walking became increasingly difficult, and eventually I could barely take 1,000 steps a day. After finding Dr. Zaur Sulumov, I finally decided to undergo surgery.
Despite the advanced stage of the condition, the surgery was successful. I stood up the very next day, was discharged on day three, and within a week I was already walking several kilometers with walking poles. Three weeks after surgery, I was walking independently without pain.
Pain-free movement is truly priceless.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
My mother suffered for a long time from back and leg pain. After a comprehensive examination, the real cause was identified — severe hip joint damage. Dr. Zaur Sulumov clearly explained the treatment plan, carefully prepared her for surgery, and personally supervised both the operation and recovery.
The surgery went smoothly, and rehabilitation was faster than expected. We were especially grateful for the doctor’s attention, clarity, and constant communication throughout the process.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
I came for a consultation without any recommendations and felt confident from the very first visit. The surgery was scheduled at a convenient time, went without complications, and throughout rehabilitation I stayed in touch with the doctor, receiving prompt answers and guidance.
Professional, attentive, and honest — I confidently recommend Dr. Zaur Sulumov to my family and friends.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
My 84-year-old husband suffered a hip fracture and required urgent surgery. Dr. Zaur Sulumov performed a complex operation and provided attentive postoperative care. His compassion, professionalism, and attention to elderly patients made a difficult situation much easier for our family.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
After hip replacement surgery, one year later I can live an active life again — travel, play with my grandchildren, and move without pain. Thank you for restoring my quality of life.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
Many clinics refused to operate due to the complexity of my case. Dr. Zaur Sulumov was not afraid to take responsibility. Everything was explained clearly, performed precisely, and with complete honesty. I plan to undergo surgery on my second knee only with him.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
I underwent several complex surgeries after multiple fractures. Even in difficult cases, Dr. Sulumov knows exactly what to do and always considers individual patient needs. When others refused, he helped. You can truly trust this doctor.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
I had a severe orthopedic injury and underwent surgery with exceptional precision. Even after the operation, despite a heavy workload, the doctor continued to monitor my recovery and provided valuable rehabilitation advice. Thanks to this support, I gradually returned to a normal life.
Review from prodoctorov.ru
From the first meeting, I felt calm and confident. Dr. Zaur Sulumov performed a complex operation masterfully and supported me throughout recovery. His professionalism, empathy, and confidence were incredibly important during this difficult time.

FAQ
Joint replacement is recommended when pain becomes constant, mobility is significantly limited, and conservative treatment (medications, injections, physiotherapy) no longer provides relief. Most often, this occurs in cases of advanced osteoarthritis, post-traumatic joint damage, or severe joint destruction. More detailed information about indications for joint replacement is available in my article. (link to article or video)
Before surgery, a comprehensive evaluation is performed, including blood tests, ECG, consultations with specialists, and joint imaging. This allows the procedure to be planned safely and the optimal treatment strategy to be selected. In most cases, all necessary examinations can be completed within one day.
After surgery, moderate pain is possible and represents a normal response of the body. Pain is effectively controlled with modern pain management protocols, so most patients report significantly less discomfort than they expected. I explain in detail how pain is managed and what to expect during the first days after surgery in my article. (link to article or video)
Recovery begins immediately after surgery. Within the first day, patients begin standing and walking with assistance. Rehabilitation follows my individualized program, focusing on exercises, muscle strengthening, and gradual increases in activity under professional supervision. More details about the early stages of recovery and rehabilitation programs are available in my recovery program section. (link to programs)
Walking with support is usually permitted within the first days after surgery. Most patients return to everyday activities within 4–6 weeks. Recovery timelines depend on the type of surgery, overall health, and adherence to rehabilitation recommendations.
It is important to be honest: joint implants are not permanent. Although more optimistic figures are sometimes mentioned, the realistic average lifespan of modern joint implants is approximately 15–20 years. Longevity depends on factors such as joint load, body weight, activity level, accuracy of implant placement, and adherence to postoperative recommendations. Some implants last longer, others less — this is a normal part of clinical practice. More detailed information about implant lifespan, wear factors, and ways to extend implant longevity is available in my article. (link to article or video)
