CORI surgical system

Robotic knee surgery technology is well-established at sportsmed and the introduction of the CORI Surgical System is the latest in a long line of surgical innovations. The first Australian procedure was conducted by Dr Tony Spriggins at the sportsmed Orthopaedic Hospital in June 2021.

The CORI Surgical System is a next generation robotics platform used for both partial and total knee replacement procedures. Distributed by global medical technology specialists, Smith & Nephew, the robotic CORI Surgical System offers surgeon-controlled robotics.

Your orthopaedic surgeon uses computer assistance to collect the unique shape and motion of your knee to virtually plan your procedure. Robotic assistance is then used by your surgeon to perform your procedure.

A number of sportsmed knee surgeons, including Dr Shahram Shahrokhi, Dr Tony Spriggins and Dr Rob Wallace, perform robotic knee surgery and are trained to use the CORI Surgical System. It is now available to patients. For more information, you can download the total knee replacement patient guide or partial knee replacement patient guide below.

Patients who are interested in robotic knee surgery and the CORI Surgical System can contact sportsmed Orthopaedics on the switchboard to find out whether they are suitable for treatment.
