Smith+Nephew has announced that it has secured FDA approval for its new Coriograph pre-surgical planning and modeling services. This London-based orthopedic leader now brings this innovation to total hip arthroplasty (THA), designed exclusively for use with the Cori robotic surgical system. The planning software offers preoperative modeling using either X-ray or CT scan data, enabling surgeons to create customized surgical plans aimed at ensuring the most favorable outcomes.
Dr. George Haidukewych from Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute (Florida) conducted the first procedure using this advanced technology. He described the system as “invaluable for reducing procedural time and ensuring optimal alignment and sizing of components.”
Cori features a range of proprietary tools and software designed to provide a versatile and scalable platform suitable for a wide range of knee and hip arthroplasty protocols. The Coriograph service has been tailored to enhance implant planning and customization, specifically for the robotic orthopedic surgical platform.
With sophisticated modeling and image-independent planning capabilities, Coriograph aids in personalizing comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
“With the incorporation of pre-op planning for hip surgery in Coriograph’s suite, we are now offering truly personalized surgical solutions for both hip and knee procedures,” stated Craig Gaffin, Global Orthopaedics President at Smith+Nephew. “I have personal experience with this, as my hip was the first to be planned using Coriograph services. Thanks to the planning process, my surgeon could anticipate the activities I’ll be able to do post-surgery, based on simulated models of my hip structure.”
