CORI Robotic Knee Replacement

The system helps the surgeon assess the knee, plan implant positioning and prepare bone. It does not operate independently, and the surgeon remains responsible for the procedure and decisions made during it.

During surgery, the system creates a digital model from information gathered from the knee. The surgeon uses this model to consider alignment, implant size and soft-tissue balance, then guides a handheld instrument within the planned boundaries.

Robotic assistance changes the tools used for planning and bone preparation; it does not remove the usual considerations of knee replacement. Implant choice, anaesthesia, wound care, rehabilitation and individual health still shape recovery.

Before deciding, discuss why replacement is being considered, which parts of the knee require treatment and whether non-surgical care remains reasonable. Give the team a complete medication list and explain any skin problem, infection or change in general health before the operation.

After surgery, follow instructions for walking aids, exercises, swelling control, medicines and wound care. Rehabilitation commonly focuses on safe transfers, knee movement, strength and a gradual return to daily tasks.

Promptly contact the surgical team for increasing wound redness, drainage, fever, pain that is worsening rather than settling, or new calf swelling. Seek emergency care for chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, coughing blood, fainting or a suddenly cold, pale foot.

Ask whether a partial or total replacement is proposed, how the robotic plan may affect your operation, which implant is intended, what assistance you will need at home, and whom to call if the wound or leg changes.
