Mako robotics, is less invasive, perfect alignment, smaller scar. A lot of people comment about leaving the hospital in one day. What is the rush?? Stay there 3 days, they monitor your vitals, give physical therapy and injections for blood clots. Knee replacement is major surgery.
Everyone has different recovery time, depending on your physical condition and age. I was 70 and 72.
lost a friend due to those clots. Protect yourself as best you can
