CORI

Are you ready for the ultimate knee replacement experience?

The CORISurgical System is an advancement in the way orthopedic surgeons perform partial and total knee replacement.

It’s a handheld device that works in conjunction with your surgeon’s skilled hands to achieve accurate positioning of components during planning and surgery.

Discover the benefits robotics-assisted surgery with Smith+Nephew implants can deliver—a naturally shaped knee,2 a quicker, smoother recovery*3,4 and an implant made from materials designed to last.

A unique plan

With 3D digital modeling, you get a surgical plan that’s customized to your unique anatomy. That means your surgeon can perform your procedure efficiently and more accurately than traditional knee replacement surgery.

A natural fit

With a robotics-assisted procedure using Smith+Nephew implants, your surgeon can help you keep more of your natural bone and ligaments, including the ACL. That means your body can maintain more of its natural rhythm and step.

Why does my knee hurt?

Sometimes called “wear and tear” arthritis, osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. When the smooth cushion between bones (cartilage) breaks down, joints can get painful, swollen and hard to move.

What can I do about my knee pain?

There’s no cure for osteoarthritis, but there are lots of treatment options, including exercises, weight loss, medication or surgery. If your doctor has recommended knee replacement surgery, there are important choices for you to consider.

Partial
Most often an option for early- to mid-stage osteoarthritis, your surgeon replaces the damaged part of your knee.

Total
Most often an option for advanced osteoarthritis, your surgeon replaces the entire knee joint.

Not all patients are candidates for the Smith+Nephew knee products. Knee replacement surgery is intended to relieve knee pain and improve knee functions. Implants may not produce the same feel or function as your original knee, and individual results will vary. Potential risks include loosening, wear and infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. There are risks associated with any surgical procedure, including CORI-enabled Knee Replacement. CORI Surgical System is not for everyone. Discuss your condition and implant options with your surgeon to determine if the CORI Surgical System is right for you. Children, pregnant women, patients who have mental or neuromuscular disorders that do not allow control of the knee joint, and morbidly obese patients should not undergo a CORI-enabled procedure.
