Mayo Clinic's approach
Cutting-edge technology
Mayo Clinic surgeons can use 3D printing technology to create a precise model of a person's joint anatomy. This allows them to better plan exactly what needs to be done during the surgery. Innovative navigation techniques during surgery help procedures go more smoothly and quickly.
