RoboticTotalKneeArthroplasty:TheCORISurgicalSystem
At the Olympion Medical Center, we redefine precision in joint replacement using the CORI Surgical System — an advanced handheld robotic solution designed to deliver a surgery as unique as your anatomy. For our international patients, this means transitioning from chronic pain to a natural-feeling recovery with the highest level of surgical accuracy available today.

Personalized3DMapping,BuiltintheOperatingRoom
One of the most significant advantages for patients traveling from abroad is that the CORI System eliminates the need for preoperative CT or MRI scans. During the procedure, we use the robot’s advanced mapping technology to create a real-time 3D digital model of your knee — analysing its unique geometry and planning the optimal surgical approach intraoperatively, so the plan is tailored precisely to you.
A Dedicated Surgical Team
PrecisionIsaTeamEffort
Every robotic knee replacement is carried out by a full surgical team — surgeon, assistants, anaesthesiologist and scrub nurses — working in close coordination throughout the procedure. This depth of experience, combined with the CORI System’s real-time guidance, is what makes consistent, reproducible outcomes possible for patients travelling from abroad.
Real-Time Robotic Precision
Sub-Millimeter Accuracy, Every Time
The CORI System operates with extraordinary speed and intelligence, continuously measuring the anatomical position of your joint structures more than 300 times per second. This real-time feedback provides precise guidance to execute the surgical plan with sub-millimeter accuracy — resulting in optimal implant placement and superior soft tissue balancing, critical factors for long-term success.

Hands-On Guidance
Precision,DirectedbyHand
Unlike larger fixed robotic arms, the CORI System is handheld — guided directly by Dr. Papadopoulos throughout the procedure. The robot provides the real-time data and sub-millimeter feedback; the surgeon retains full tactile control, combining decades of surgical judgment with machine-level precision.
Real-Time Implant Review
ALiveViewIntoYourSurgery
Throughout the procedure, implant size, alignment and flexion data are displayed live on the CORI tablet — allowing Dr. Papadopoulos to review and fine-tune the plan chairside before a single cut is made. Every adjustment is measured, confirmed, and tailored to your anatomy in real time.

Advanced Implant Technology
Anthem & Journey II by Smith & Nephew
The success of a robotic total knee replacement depends not only on surgical precision but also on implant quality. We use world-leading systems from Smith & Nephew, engineered to work in harmony with the CORI Robotic System.
Anthem — Global Excellence in Fit & Stability
Engineered to accommodate anatomical variations of patients from all over the world.
Anatomic Fit: High-performance proportions that respect the natural shape of the femur and tibia.
Stability: Enhanced bone-to-implant contact, promoting long-term durability.
Versatility: A wide range of sizes for a bespoke fit that feels like a natural part of your body.
Journey II — Restoring Natural Motion
The Active Knee system, for patients seeking a more active lifestyle post-surgery.
Replicate Normal Kinematics: Shaped to mimic the natural muscle and ligament function of a healthy knee.
Improved Flexion: A deeper, more stable bend — walking, cycling and stairs feel remarkably fluid.
Reduced Wear: Built with Oxinium (Oxidized Zirconium) for superior durability versus standard cobalt-chrome.
“By combining the CORI Robotic System with Smith & Nephew’s Anthem or Journey II implants, we provide a holistic surgical solution — the robot ensures the most accurate placement, while the high-end materials ensure your new joint performs reliably for years to come.”
Medical Tourism Package Note
Choosing the Right Implant
Implant Choice: During your initial virtual consultation, we discuss whether Anthem or Journey II best suits your age, activity level and bone quality.
Certification: All implants come with a full international warranty and identification passport.
