Introducing 4D Alignment - Options With Alignment Using the CORI Handheld Image Free Robotic System

Description

This presentation features Dr. Dinesh Nathwani discussing 4D alignment in knee replacement surgery, emphasizing the need for a multidimensional approach to knee mechanics. He expresses frustration with the various marketing terminologies within the industry, presenting 4D alignment as a necessary innovation. The talk introduces the CORI system, a handheld robotic tool for knee surgery, illustrating its application in achieving precise implant placement, balancing ligaments, and accommodating individual patient needs. Dr. Nathwani's experience since 2004 highlights the importance of technology in improving surgical outcomes, while stressing the need for education and appropriate implementation of these advancements in practice. He concludes by advocating the adoption of 4D alignment technology to foster better surgical practices, calling for a shift in the perception of knee surgery towards a more nuanced understanding of individual variances among patients.
