Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of REAL INTELLIGENCE™ CORI™ in Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) Procedures

A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of REAL INTELLIGENCE™ CORI™ in Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) Procedures

This is a prospective study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CORI and to register CORI in China mainland.

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CORI. In addition, the study will support regulatory approval by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China.

The study will have two arms, the investigational group will be total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using CORI, the comparison group will be conventional approach with conventional manual instrumentation.

2. Subject requires a cemented UKA as a primary indication that meets any of the following conditions:

   1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, including osteoarthritis
   2. Avascular necrosis
   3. Requires correction of functional deformity
   4. Requires treatment of fractures that were unmanageable using other techniques

3. Subject is of legal age to consent and considered skeletally mature (≥ 18 years of age at the time of surgery).

3. Subject receives simultaneous bilateral UKA OR a unilateral UKA with contralateral TKA.
4. Subject has one or more of the following arthroplasties that are not fully healed and well-functioning, as determined by the investigator:-Contralateral primary TKA or UKA, however, the subject can only have one knee enrolled in this study.

6. Subject does not meet the indication or is contraindicated for UKA according to specific S+N knee system's Instructions For Use (IFU).
7. Subject has active infection or sepsis (treated or untreated).
8. Subject is morbidly obese with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40.
9. Subject is pregnant or breast feeding at the time of surgery.
