West Boca Medical Center is the first hospital in Boca Raton now offering patients the CORI™ Surgical System for knee replacement surgery. The CORI™ Surgical System uses handheld robotic-assisted technology, aiding the surgeon’s plan to perform the procedure. It also gives surgeons a three-dimensional view to help finalize and verify the selection of the knee implant, creating a plan for surgery without needing a CT scan or MRI. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. David Padden is the first surgeon at West Boca Medical Center to perform a procedure with this new technology.
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
• A natural fit: Using these technologies patients can keep more bone and ligaments, including their ACL. That helps maintain more of a natural rhythm and step.
• 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.
