Osteoarthritis often disrupts daily activities, especially among the elderly. Persistent pain when walking or moving pushes many patients to seek comprehensive solutions for better outcomes. This was also the case for a patient from Jakarta who suffered from knee pain for two years before finally finding relief through a robotic Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.

A Patient’s Journey: Overcoming the Fear of Surgery
Initially, the patient was hesitant to undergo surgery due to fear of the procedure. They had tried various treatments, from medications to consulting multiple specialists, yet the pain persisted. After further examinations, doctors advised that knee surgery was the most suitable solution for the joint damage.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, the patient was treated using advanced robot-assisted navigation technology that enables surgeons to operate with up to 99% accuracy. This procedure only replaces the damaged knee compartment instead of the entire joint, resulting in faster recovery compared to total knee replacement. The robotic system ensures precise and safe implant placement and even stops automatically if it moves outside the designated area.
Significant Improvements After Surgery
Following the surgery, the patient experienced remarkable improvements. The osteoarthritis pain that had long affected daily life disappeared, leaving only mild discomfort from the surgical process, which gradually healed within weeks.
Amazingly, just a day after the operation, the patient was able to move their leg and start walking without the help of a cane. In a short time, they returned to normal daily activities.
Not only satisfied with the results, the patient also appreciated the robotic technology used at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri. This internationally proven innovation is now accessible to patients in Indonesia. For this patient, choosing robotic knee surgery at Mandaya was the right decision that restored their quality of life.
Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri continues to deliver advanced medical care, including robotic knee replacement surgery, which provides more precise results, greater safety, and faster recovery. Patient testimonials are real proof that with modern medical technology, osteoarthritis patients can regain mobility without painful limitations.
Advantages of CORI Robotic Knee System in Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery is now more advanced with modern robotic technology. At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, procedures are performed using the sophisticated CORI Robotic Knee System.
With robotic navigation, orthopedic surgeons specializing in hip and knee surgery can operate with higher precision, ensuring optimal results.
Here are the key advantages of CORI robotic technology in knee replacement surgery:
1. Supports Both UKA and TKR
CORI is designed to handle both Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) and Total Knee Replacement (TKR). This flexibility allows surgeons to customize the procedure based on each patient’s needs.
2. The Only Robotic System FDA-Approved for Revision Surgery
CORI is the first knee robotic system approved by the U.S. FDA for revision surgery, which involves replacing worn-out implants. This support enables surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy, safety, and minimal risk.
3. No Pre-Operative CT Scan or MRI Required
Unlike other systems, CORI does not require a CT scan or MRI before surgery. Instead, it maps the knee anatomy in real-time during surgery and generates a 3D model to guide accurate implant placement and ligament balancing.
4. Uses Durable OXINIUM Implants
CORI is compatible with OXINIUM implants, an innovative material proven to be up to nine times stronger than standard options. These implants significantly reduce wear and can last for decades, making them ideal for long-term results.
5. Scientifically and Globally Proven
CORI robotic technology has been used in over 30 countries and is supported by hundreds of international medical publications. Scientific evidence confirms its effectiveness in delivering precise, low-complication surgeries with better patient outcomes.
With CORI, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri offers knee replacement surgery that is safer, faster, and longer-lasting—an ideal solution for osteoarthritis patients seeking to move freely again without pain.
