Orthopedic surgeon Jaime Hernandez, MD, has reportedly performed the first total knee replacement with Smith+Nephew's CORI Surgical System at an ASC, according to a Sept. 8 report from The Signal Santa Clarita Valley.

The surgery was completed at Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Los Angeles, where Dr. Hernandez has practiced since 2010.

Dr. Hernandez is a hip and knee specialist who performs almost 1,000 joint replacements annually.

Southern California Orthopedic Institute recently acquired the CORI system, which is a handheld robotic device that creates customized 3D models of the knee to guide implant placement.
