Vietnamese hospital uses robot for knee surgery and leg alignment correction

A hospital in the Vietnamese city of Hai Phong performed a knee surgery while simultaneously correcting a crooked leg alignment. According to the source, this was done with the help of a robot called CORI. It is unclear how often such procedures have already taken place or how successful the method has been so far.

The CORI robot is used in orthopedic surgeries to increase precision. In this case, it involved a patient who needed both a new knee and an adjustment of the leg axis. The source does not mention whether complications arose or how much recovery time was involved.

The hospital, Vinmec Hai Phong, is known for technological innovations in healthcare. Robot-assisted surgeries are becoming more common, but combining multiple procedures at once is less common. It is not known if this method is also applied in other countries.
