Delray Medical Center is the first hospital in South Palm Beach County to use the CORI™ Surgical System for knee replacement surgery. Dr. Curtis Kephart is the first orthopedic surgeon to use this new technology at the hospital. The CORI™ Surgical System uses handheld robotics-assisted technology that helps the surgeon plan and perform the procedure. It also gives surgeons a three-dimensional view to help finalize and verify the selection of the knee implant and create a plan for surgery without the need for either a CT scan or MRI.
Robotics-assisted knee replacement surgery using the CORITM Surgical System can lead to the following patient benefits:
• Quicker, smoother recovery
• Regain function faster and return home sooner
• A unique 3D digital model to get a surgical plan customized to the patients’ unique anatomy. The surgeon can perform the procedure more accurately than traditional knee replacement surgery.
• A natural fit: Using these technologies patients can keep more of their natural bone and ligaments, including the ACL. 6 That helps maintain more of a natural rhythm and step.
• A wide selection: The surgeon is able to choose from the widest selection of implants available, so implants can be precision-matched to feel more like a patient’s own knee.
