For the Better
The earliest knee replacement procedures in 1968 relied on manual guides. Over time, techniques improved with alignment rods and pre-surgery CT scans—but drawbacks remained, including surgical complications, radiation exposure, and increased costs.
Enter robotics-assisted surgery: combining the advantages of traditional methods with innovations while minimizing the drawbacks. CORI achieves a level of accuracy that human hands alone cannot match—without the need for metal rods, CT scans, or pre-surgical MRIs.
"When a highly skilled surgeon is equipped with the latest in robotics-assisted technology, you can rest easy knowing you're getting the ultimate knee replacement experience."
What Makes CORI the Premier Choice
CORI represents the latest evolution in robotic-assisted knee surgery, offering capabilities that set it apart from older systems and traditional techniques.
No Pre-Surgery CT Scan Required
Unlike older robotic systems, CORI uses image-agnostic smart mapping to create a real-time 3D model in the operating room. This eliminates harmful radiation exposure from CT scans and streamlines your pre-operative process.
Handheld Robotic Precision
CORI is the only handheld robotics-assisted technology for both partial and total knee replacements. The surgeon maintains complete control while benefiting from robotic precision—sending precise information more than 300 times per second.
Real-Time Surgical Planning
The system captures hundreds of data points from your knee during surgery, enabling your surgeon to finalize implant selection and create a detailed surgical plan customized to your unique anatomy.
Intelligent Bone Preparation
CORI's robotic handpiece provides precision milling with haptic feedback, ensuring only damaged surfaces are removed—preserving healthy bone and supporting structures like the ACL when possible.
Intra-Operative Gap Balancing
Real-time feedback allows the surgeon to balance your joint during the procedure, optimizing the fit between your implant and remaining tissue for more natural movement.
Widest Implant Selection
CORI works with the widest selection of implants available, including those made with OXINIUM® Oxidized Zirconium—a highly durable material lab-tested to last significantly longer than conventional materials.
What This Means for You
Quicker, Smoother Recovery
Studies show robotics-assisted surgery with Smith+Nephew implants delivers faster return to daily activities compared to conventional techniques.
More Natural-Feeling Knee
Precision implant placement based on your unique anatomy means your replacement can maintain more of your body's natural rhythm and movement.
Shorter Hospital Stay
Patients may regain function faster and get discharged sooner compared to conventional surgery techniques.
Personalized Surgical Plan
Your surgery is as unique as you are—CORI creates an individualized 3D plan combining your knee's anatomy with the specific implant chosen for you.
Surgical Precision
Updates Per Second
CT Scans Required

Why Accuracy is Critical
Research shows that implant positioning significantly affects the outcome of knee replacement. Even small deviations from optimal alignment can impact how natural your knee feels, how long the implant lasts, and your overall satisfaction.
