Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital continues to strengthen its commitment as a leading orthopedic center in Indonesia by introducing the CORI robotic knee surgery system and the revolutionary OXINIUM implant from Smith+Nephew. This combination sets a new standard in knee replacement procedures, offering higher precision and optimal long-term results for patients.
The hospital’s official designation as the first and only CORI Robotic Knee Reference Center in Indonesia by global medical technology company Smith+Nephew is a testament to its world-class medical quality and expertise. The inauguration was held on Saturday (August 9) with a special ceremony and an educational talk show titled “The Difference Between Conventional Knee Replacement and Robotic Navigation Surgery.”
The event featured Mandaya Royal Puri’s team of internationally certified Hip & Knee orthopedic specialists: Dr. Paulus Ronald Hibono, Sp.OT(K) Hip & Knee; Dr. William Chandra, Sp.OT(K) Hip & Knee; Dr. Rahendra Pratama, Sp.OT(K) Hip & Knee; and Dr. Ardi Setiawan, Sp.OT(K) Hip & Knee. It also welcomed a distinguished guest speaker from Thailand, Associate Professor Pruk Chaiyakit, MD, a renowned orthopedic surgeon with extensive expertise in hip and knee surgeries.
Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital has already performed 100 robotic knee surgeries in just 10 months.
“Mandaya has successfully completed 100 robotic knee surgeries in 10 months and became the first to perform partial knee replacement (UKA) using robotic assistance,” said Erwin Suyanto, Public Relations of Mandaya Hospital Group.
“Some patients not only regained their ability to walk but even returned to playing high-impact sports such as tennis,” he added.
With this advanced robotic technology, Mandaya Royal Puri aims to ensure that every patient receives maximum surgical outcomes, optimal recovery, and a significantly improved quality of life.
The CORI Robotic Advantage: High Precision Without CT Scans
The CORI system from Smith+Nephew is the latest generation of robotic navigation for knee surgery, enabling surgeons to operate with greater precision. It creates a real-time 3D scan of the patient’s knee anatomy directly during surgery—eliminating the need for pre-operative CT scans.
With its high accuracy and advanced navigation guidance, the CORI system allows surgeons to optimally position implants for each patient, reducing the risk of complications and speeding up recovery. This technology enables patients to return to their normal activities faster, with improved comfort and better long-term outcomes.
OXINIUM Implant: 30-Year Durability, Designed for CORI
The performance of the CORI system is further enhanced by the OXINIUM knee implant, now available at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital. Made from zirconium metal through a proprietary oxidation process, OXINIUM is nine times stronger than conventional implant materials. Its surface is 160 times smoother, significantly reducing wear and discomfort after surgery.
The implant is proven to last up to 30 years, equivalent to around 45 million steps, and has high biocompatibility to minimize allergy risks. Moreover, OXINIUM implants are specifically designed to suit the anatomical structure of Asian patients, ensuring a better fit and improved mobility.
Mandaya Royal Puri: National Reference Center for CORI and OXINIUM Technology
The designation of Mandaya Royal Puri as the CORI Robotic Knee Reference Center is not only due to its cutting-edge technology but also the expertise of its medical team.
Dr. Paulus is the only Indonesian doctor to attend the prestigious CORI Robotic Summit in Germany and has also undergone specialized CORI robotic training in Thailand. Meanwhile, Dr. William trained at the Lyon School of Knee Surgery in France—one of the world’s leading institutions for knee surgery education.
The integration of CORI robotic technology and OXINIUM implants at Mandaya Royal Puri marks a new chapter in knee replacement services in Indonesia. Patients now have access to state-of-the-art technology and internationally trained specialists for orthopedic solutions that are precise, personalized, and long-lasting.
