What Is CORI™ Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?

CORI™ is an advanced handheld robotic-assisted surgical system designed to support surgeons during partial and total knee replacement procedures, with capabilities that also include revision knee arthroplasty in applicable markets.

 

The system can create a 3D model of the knee intraoperatively, assist with personalized surgical planning, assess knee balance and support precision bone preparation.

Why Choose CORI™ Robotic-Assisted Technology?

Image-Free Smart Mapping

CORI™ can use image-agnostic smart mapping to build a 3D model of the knee during surgery.

 

Personalized Surgical Planning

CORI™ provides real-time planning tools that allow the surgeon to tailor the surgical plan to the patient’s individual anatomy and intraoperative findings.

 

Real-Time Knee Balancing

CORI™ provides intraoperative gap assessment and balancing information that can help the surgeon evaluate alignment and soft-tissue balance.

 

Handheld Robotic Precision

CORI™ combines robotic assistance with a handheld surgical instrument designed for precision milling and controlled bone preparation.

A Compact, Handheld Approach to Robotic Knee Surgery

CORI™ takes a different approach to robotic-assisted surgery.

 

Its compact, handheld platform is designed with a small operating-room footprint, allowing robotic technology to be integrated into the surgical workflow without the large robotic-arm configuration used by some other systems.

 

Compact. Handheld. Digital. Surgeon-Controlled.

Who May Be a Candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement?

Robotic-assisted knee replacement may be considered for patients whose knee damage or arthritis has significantly affected their quality of life.

 

Common Reasons to Consider Knee Replacement

  • Advanced knee osteoarthritis
  • Persistent knee pain
  • Severe cartilage wear
  • Knee stiffness and reduced mobility
  • Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
  • Pain that interferes with sleep or daily activities
  • Knee deformity associated with advanced arthritis
  • Symptoms that have not improved sufficiently with non-surgical treatment

 

Not every patient requires robotic-assisted surgery. Your orthopaedic surgeon will determine whether knee replacement and robotic assistance are appropriate for you.

CORI™ for Total and Partial Knee Replacement

Total Knee Replacement

 

For patients with extensive arthritis affecting multiple compartments of the knee, total knee replacement replaces the damaged joint surfaces with prosthetic components.

CORI™ can provide the surgeon with digital planning, 3D anatomical mapping and intraoperative balancing information.

 

Partial Knee Replacement

 

When arthritis is limited to a specific compartment and the patient meets appropriate clinical criteria, partial knee replacement may be considered.

CORI™ supports robotic-assisted partial knee procedures for appropriately selected patients.

CORI™ for Revision Knee Replacement

Revision knee replacement can be technically demanding.

 

CORI™ with appropriate software capabilities has been developed to support revision knee arthroplasty, including image-free mapping of bone surfaces and intraoperative assessment of defects and joint balance.

 

Complex Knee. Advanced Planning. Surgeon-Led Precision.

Does Robotic Surgery Replace the Surgeon?

No.

 

CORI™ is not an autonomous robot performing the operation.

 

Your orthopaedic surgeon remains responsible for surgical decisions and controls the procedure.

 

CORI™ provides digital mapping, planning, balancing information and robotic assistance that can support the surgeon during knee replacement.

Is Robotic Knee Replacement Right for You?

Could It Be Time for an Orthopaedic Evaluation?

 

Is knee pain affecting your daily life?

Are stairs becoming difficult?

Do you avoid activities you once enjoyed?

Are painkillers or injections providing only temporary relief?

Has your doctor told you that you may need knee replacement?

 

If you answered YES to any of these, it may be time for an orthopaedic evaluation.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About CORI™ Robotic Knee Replacement

What is CORI™ robotic knee replacement?

CORI™ is a handheld robotic-assisted surgical system from Smith+Nephew designed to support surgeons during knee replacement procedures.

 

Is CORI™ a robot that performs the knee replacement by itself?

No. CORI™ is a robotic-assisted system. The orthopaedic surgeon remains in control of the procedure.

 

Does CORI™ knee replacement require a CT scan?

CORI™ uses image-agnostic smart mapping and can create a 3D model of the knee intraoperatively. A pre-operative CT specifically for robotic planning may not be required for appropriate image-free workflows.

 

Is robotic knee replacement better than conventional knee replacement?

Robotic assistance provides additional planning, mapping and precision tools. However, outcomes depend on multiple factors, including the patient’s condition, implant, surgical technique, surgeon experience and rehabilitation.

 

Who is eligible for robotic knee replacement?

Eligibility depends on the patient’s diagnosis, severity of arthritis, knee anatomy, overall health and surgical requirements.

 

Can CORI™ be used for total knee replacement?

Yes. CORI™ is designed to support robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty.

 

Can CORI™ be used for partial knee replacement?

Yes. CORI™ supports robotic-assisted partial knee procedures for appropriately selected patients.

 

Can CORI™ be used for revision knee replacement?

CORI™ has capabilities for robotic-assisted revision knee arthroplasty in applicable markets.

 

Does robotic knee replacement mean less pain?

Robotic assistance is not a guarantee of less postoperative pain. Pain and recovery vary between patients.

 

Does robotic surgery guarantee a faster recovery?

No surgical technology can guarantee a specific recovery time. Recovery varies from patient to patient.

 

How accurate is CORI™?

CORI™ is designed to support accuracy in bone resection and alignment while providing intraoperative planning and balancing information.

 

Is CORI™ suitable for everyone who needs knee replacement?

No. Your surgeon will determine whether robotic assistance is appropriate for your specific condition.

 

What happens during CORI™ robotic knee replacement?

The surgeon maps the knee and creates a digital representation of the anatomy. A surgical plan is developed, intraoperative information can be used to assess knee balance, and the handheld robotic system assists with controlled bone preparation.

 

How long does robotic knee replacement surgery take?

Operating time varies depending on the type and complexity of the procedure, the patient’s anatomy and the surgeon’s technique.

 

Where can I get CORI™ robotic knee replacement in Chandigarh?

Patients looking for robotic-assisted knee replacement in Chandigarh and the surrounding region can consult the Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement team at Alchemist Hospitals.
