Smith+Nephew announced significant enhancements to its Real Intelligence digital ecosystem and surgical robotics programs at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2021 Annual Meeting in San Diego. These include an exclusive preview of RI.HIP NAVIGATION software on the CORI Surgical System and the commercial availability of RI.INSIGHTS - a global data management platform designed to advance the standard of care for robotics-assisted joint replacement procedures. Visitors to AAOS will be among the first to experience RI.HIP NAVIGATION, a software release that expands the capabilities of Smith+Nephew's robotics platform, the CORI Surgical System, to include total hip arthroplasty (THA). The addition of this software to CORI, which is pending FDA clearance, will allow hospitals, outpatient departments, and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to perform robotic-assisted knee surgery and computer-guided (navigated) hip surgery using one platform. Earlier this year, a new study concluded that computer-guided technology for total hip arthroplasty – such as Smith+Nephew's RI.HIP NAVIGATION – significantly reduces the risk of revision compared to conventional surgery and increases patient satisfaction when using Smith+Nephew implants.1 Presented at the 2021 World Arthroplasty Congress (WAC), the results demonstrated: Significantly lower revision rate at 10 years with computer-guided (1.06%) vs. conventional THA (3.88%; p=0.005), 55% lower risk of revision at 10 years with computer-guided vs. conventional THA (p=0.038), Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the computer-guided group compared to conventional THA (p=0.003), Introduced last year on a limited basis, RI.INSIGHTS is the first platform designed to enable orthopaedic surgeons to benchmark robotic surgical experiences with global users to optimize surgical planning and improve patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). RI.INSIGHTS collects anonymized intra-op data and then presents surgeon case data via a secure data portal, which can be reviewed with independent post-op patient outcomes, allowing surgeons to gain and readily apply insights from their robotics-assisted surgical procedures. Smith+Nephew is also developing a new tensioning device for robotic-assisted surgery that captures ligament tension to balance the knee during TKA procedures. The device will be on display during the AAOS tradeshow. The CORI Surgical System is among the smallest*, most portable†, and affordable2 robotic systems on the market today. Unlike other robotic systems, the CORI system reduces time†, costs and radiation exposure3 associated with preoperative CT imaging, using instead image-free smart mapping to build patient-specific 3D models of the anatomy in surgery.
