At MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center, we are proud to offer Mako 4 SmartRobotics Total Hip Revision — an advanced breakthrough in joint surgery for patients needing revision of a previous hip replacement. With Mako 4 technology in conjunction with the Q Guidance System, our orthopedic experts deliver personalized care with greater precision, improved outcomes, and shorter recovery times compared to manual techniques.
In Spring 2025, Long Beach Medical Center has made history by becoming the first hospital globally to successfully perform a robotic hip revision using the Mako Total Hip with 5.0 software.
Why Choose Mako 4 for Hip Revision?
Hip revision surgery is often more complex than an initial hip replacement. Using Mako 4’s technology, surgeons can better understand each patient’s unique anatomy and tailor the surgical approach in real time.
Benefits of Mako 4 Hip Revision at Long Beach Medical Center:
- Personalized surgical planning: A CT scan of your hip helps your surgeon create a plan that’s specific to your anatomy and the condition of your existing implant.
- Greater precision: Mako 4 provides enhanced accuracy during implant removal and placement, helping reduce variability and preserve healthy bone.
- Enhanced stability and outcomes: Mako 4’s smart robotic-arm system enables more consistent alignment, which may reduce the risk of future dislocation or complications.
- Less pain and faster recovery: Clinical studies show robotic-assisted hip procedures result in less post-op pain, less blood loss and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional methods.

You may be a candidate for Mako 4 Total Hip Revision if you are experiencing:
- Loosening or wear of a previous hip implant
- Pain or stiffness that limits mobility
