Mako Written Exam UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
The steps for identifying and resolving a loose/bumped checkpoint are: 1. walk three planes in
bone registration to confirm it is still accurate. 2. retighten the array. 3. clear the associated bone
registration, checkpoint, and patient landmarks. 4. recapture the associated patient landmarks,
checkpoint, and bone registration. - CORRECT ANSWER - False - this is for correcting
shifted array.
When entering bone preparation, the surgeon tries to verify the femoral bone checkpoint and the
result is greater than 1mm. This automatically means that the checkpoint is loose. - CORRECT
ANSWER - false.
In bone preparation, standby mode means the surgeon is unable to enter the stereo-tactics and
start the saw - CORRECT ANSWER - false - able to start
The user has completed the implant plan. Upon reviewing the pre-operative plan with the
surgeon user, the medial malleus landmark was updated. Which of the following has been
impacted? - CORRECT ANSWER - tibia implant plan
After the tibial resection has been made, the surgeon uses the planar probe to verify the accuracy
of the cut. The values on the screen reference the initial implant plan regardless of changes made
in ligament balancing. - CORRECT ANSWER - false
In 'distal/tibia cut first' workflow, the surgeon has resected both distal femur and proximal tibia
according to the plan. how are gap values calculated? - CORRECT ANSWER - planned
tibial resection to planned articular surface of the femoral component plus 8.5mm
The goal of a manual Triathlon procedure is to align the femoral component with the? -
CORRECT ANSWER - mechanical axis of the femur
The resection view feature in the implant planning page turns the implants on and off the 3D
bone model. - CORRECT ANSWER - false
