This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a robotic surgical system called REAL INTELLIGENCE™ CORI™ that helps surgeons perform total knee replacement surgery more precisely. Researchers want to see whether this robot-assisted approach produces better leg alignment and outcomes compared to traditional knee replacement surgery done by hand. The trial will compare 70 patients who receive the robot-assisted procedure with 70 patients who receive the standard surgical approach.
Even with experienced surgeons, getting the exact right alignment of a new knee joint can be challenging and affects how well patients do after surgery. This trial exists to see whether robotic guidance during surgery can help surgeons achieve better alignment and potentially improve patient outcomes.

If you qualify, you will be randomly assigned to receive either the robot-assisted knee replacement surgery or standard knee replacement surgery. You'll have the procedure at one of the study hospitals in Australia, China, Hong Kong, or New Zealand. After surgery, you will return for follow-up visits over the next 2 years so researchers can measure your leg alignment, how well your knee is working, and your overall recovery. X-rays and routine assessments will be done to track your progress.
