Restore Mobility and Improve Quality of Life With Total Knee Replacement
If knee pain is limiting your ability to stay active, walk comfortably, or enjoy everyday life, total knee replacement can help restore mobility and improve quality of life. At OrthoCenter, Dr. Robert Borzio utilizes Smith+Nephew CORI robotic-assisted technology to provide a more personalized and precise knee replacement experience.
What Is CORI Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?
The Smith+Nephew CORI system is an advanced robotic-assisted platform designed to improve the precision, accuracy, and customization of total knee replacement surgery. Unlike traditional knee replacement techniques that rely on standard measurements and manual instruments, CORI uses real-time data to help your surgeon tailor the procedure to your individual anatomy.
The CORI system assists Dr. Borzio throughout surgery by providing highly detailed mapping of the knee, allowing for more accurate implant positioning, alignment, and soft tissue balancing.
This technology helps provide:
- More accurate implant positioning
- Improved joint alignment and balance
- Greater surgical precision and consistency
- A more personalized knee replacement experience
- Improved knee function and range of motion
The goal is to create a stable, balanced, and natural-feeling knee replacement while improving long-term implant performance.
How CORI Technology Assists Knee Replacement Surgery
During surgery, the CORI robotic platform provides real-time information that helps guide bone preparation and implant placement with a high level of precision. The system allows Dr. Borzio to make intraoperative adjustments based on your knee’s unique anatomy and soft tissue balance.
Importantly, the CORI system does not perform surgery on its own. The technology serves as an advanced surgical tool that enhances the surgeon’s ability to make precise decisions throughout the procedure.
Advanced Soft Tissue Balancing Technology
One of the most unique advantages of the Smith+Nephew CORI system is its electronic force-sensing technology used during knee replacement surgery.
CORI is currently the only robotic-assisted knee replacement platform that incorporates an electronic force-sensing device to quantitatively measure soft tissue balance during surgery. This technology provides real-time feedback on ligament tension and knee balance throughout the procedure, allowing Dr. Robert Borzio to make highly precise adjustments to implant positioning and alignment.
While many robotic systems focus primarily on bone preparation and implant placement, the CORI platform adds a layer of objective soft tissue assessment that improves the accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility of knee balancing during surgery.
By combining robotic precision with real-time soft tissue data, CORI helps create a more balanced and natural-feeling knee replacement.
A well-balanced knee replacement feels more stable and natural during everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and returning to an active lifestyle.
Benefits of CORI Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
Patients undergoing CORI robotic-assisted knee replacement benefit from:
- Improved surgical accuracy and consistency
- More precise implant positioning
- Enhanced soft tissue balancing
- Reduced disruption to surrounding tissue
- Faster recovery and rehabilitation
- Improved range of motion and knee function
- Long-lasting implant performance
By providing real-time data and objective measurements throughout surgery, CORI helps remove much of the guesswork from knee replacement procedures.
