Corin Reports 1st Total Hip Cases Using ApolloHipX

Corin announced the first total hip arthroplasty (THA) cases using its ApolloHipX, the newest application for its Apollo connected surgical ecosystem.

ApolloHipX, according to the company, is the first THA solution that merges dynamic 3D preoperative planning with real-time intraoperative assessment from standard fluoroscopy. It lets surgeons deliver a personalized plan for THA.

The tool combines Corin’s preoperative planning solution with intraoperative fluoroscopy via automated 2D-3D registration software. The system generates real-time, 3D assessment of implant position regardless of the patient’s position or C-arm alignment by aligning a single 2D X-ray with the patient-specific 3D plan.

The company said the approach reduces the number of intraoperative images required, which minimizes surgical time and radiation exposure in the operating room.

Dr. Stefan Kreuzer, pioneer in robotic-assisted arthroplasty, performed the first cases using ApolloHipX at INOV8 Surgical at Memorial City, the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) he founded in Houston.

“As a longtime user of OPSInsight, I’ve seen how powerful personalized planning can be in improving THA outcomes, particularly when combined with the direct anterior approach to minimize soft-tissue disruption,” Dr. Kreuzer told the press. “ApolloHipX completes the journey from preoperative planning to intraoperative 3D visualization of that plan with seamless connectivity.”

Corin’s Apollo platform integrates AI-driven planning, intraoperative tools, and cloud-based analytics to support personalized orthopedic care. The ApolloKnee application was introduced in 2024, bringing pre-resection patient gap and load balance assessment into the operating room with Balance Bot. ApolloHipX extends that to total hip replacement.

“Corin is a leader in recognizing the impact of spinopelvic mobility on THA outcomes, and ApolloHipX brings those insights into the OR,” said Dr. Jim Pierrepont, Global Franchise Lead at Corin. “Traditionally, achieving surgical precision through technology has come at the cost of added time, complexity, or workflow disruption. ApolloHipX changes that, delivering accurate, personalized 3D guidance without compromising efficiency.”
