Image-Less CORI Robotic Assisted Arthroplasty-Technical Video
Description
In this presentation, Simon Jennings discusses the CORI system, a handheld robotic platform designed for knee surgery. He begins by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to talk and notes the interesting parallels between his experiences and those shared by a preceding professor in the field. Jennings recounts his journey of transitioning from using robotics for complex cases to employing the system for all types of knee surgeries, highlighting the versatility of the CORI system across various hospital settings.
The presentation includes a demonstration of the CORI system in action, which features a compact mobile trolley equipped with a camera. Jennings outlines the setup process involving osteophyte removal, the insertion of guide pins into the tibia and femur, and the use of navigation arrays to facilitate surgical precision.
He explains the integration of information collected from the knee structure to aid in planning for surgical procedures, emphasizing the importance of creating an accurate map for implant sizing and positioning. The presenter details the step-by-step process of virtual surgery, the importance of soft tissue measurement, and how the system aids in executing precise cuts on the femur and tibia.
The CORI system allows for significant control and data feedback during procedures, creating a streamlined surgical experience. Jennings concludes by reaffirming the effectiveness of the CORI system in comparison to traditional image-guided systems, particularly in challenging cases with pre-existing metalwork in the knee, noting its accuracy in restoring joint alignment.
