Smith+Nephew gained expanded indication for its CORI handheld robotic-assisted solution to now include total hip arthroplasty (THA). The company’s RI.HIP NAVIGATION for patient-specific component alignment in THA is now available for CORI.
A study conducted last year determined computer-guided tech for THA reduced revision risk and increased patient satisfaction when using Smith+Nephew implants. The results showed:
"The addition of RI.HIP NAVIGATION on the CORI System further strengthens Smith+Nephew's Real Intelligence digital ecosystem and underscores our commitment to advancing clinical outcomes in total hip arthroplasty," Randy Kilburn, exec VP and GM, Reconstruction, Robotics and Digital Surgery for Smith+Nephew told the press. "We look forward to offering the possibility of further improving patient outcomes and satisfaction to a broader surgeon community with the rapidly expanding adoption of our CORI Surgical System."
The company’s RI.HIP NAVIGATION recently earned U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the CORI Surgical System. Software installations will begin immediately at a limited number of hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), with more broad commercial launch later this year.

A study conducted last year determined computer-guided tech for THA reduced revision risk and increased patient satisfaction when using Smith+Nephew implants. The results showed:
- Significantly lower revision rate at 10 years with computer-guided (1.06 percent) vs. conventional THA (3.88 percent; p=0.005)1
- 55 percent lower risk of revision at 10 years with computer-guided vs. conventional THA (p=0.038)1
- Significantly higher patient satisfaction in the computer-guided group compared to conventional THA (p=0.003)1
