AAOS 2024: SMITH+NEPHEW SHOWCASES INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR PERSONALIZED ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY
Smith+Nephew’s robotic-assisted procedural solutions have positive effects on the healthcare economic landscape.
Smith+Nephew provided a glimpse into the future at AAOS 2024. The company showcased a new feature for its CORI Surgical System. This exclusive image-agnostic robotic-assisted surgical solution is designed to further help personalize surgery, advance efficiencies, and optimize performance across Smith+Nephew’s orthopaedic reconstruction portfolio.
The power of one robotic-assisted platform
Smith+Nephew’s CORI Surgical System – a next-generation handheld robotics platform - supports the entire continuum of care in knee arthroplasty (unicompartmental, total, revision) and a comprehensive solution for navigated total hip arthroplasty (THA). Robotic-assisted surgery has been shown to help improve surgical outcomes and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional techniques.
- The CORI Surgical System is the only robotic-assisted solution indicated for revision total knee arthroplasty; and RI.KNEE software enables joint line restoration and improves patient-reported outcomes (pain and PROMIS Depression).
- The CORI Digital Tensioner provides objective gap data and quantifies joint laxity prior to making bone resections in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) resulting in more consistent, repeatable joint balancing and alignment compared to manual tensioning.
- Use of a navigated surgery, such as RI.HIP NAVIGATION, enables a computer-guided approach that demonstrates significantly lower revision rates, lower risk of revision, and higher patient satisfaction when compared with traditional THA.
- The CORI Surgical System has the smallest footprint and offers more indications and specialized tools than competitive solutions to help accommodate the high growth of outpatient/ASC hip and knee procedures in the US.
Personalizing surgery
Delivering solutions for differing patient types coupled with planning and execution tools is essential to personalizing surgery. By individualizing the episode of care, patients have shown better outcomes such as early recovery and early functional outcomes compared to conventional UKA surgery.
RI.KNEE ROBOTICS v2.0 – Personalized Planning software powered by AI - provides AI-powered reference values as guidance for planning and enables surgeons to set preferences for initial implant starting positions that are customized to patient deformity.
Proven economic benefits
Smith+Nephew’s robotic-assisted procedural solutions have positive effects on the healthcare economic landscape. For example, patients who received Smith+Nephew robotic-assisted UKA could be discharged in less than 24 hours without complications or readmissions.
