David J. Rodricks, MD

The next generation of knee surgery has arrived and is available with robotic surgical specialist Dr. Rodricks at Ocean Medical Hospital.

Dr. Rodricks specializes in the CORI Surgical System.

The CORI system uses handheld robotics-assisted technology that helps Dr. Rodricks plan and perform your unique knee replacement procedure. This robotics-assisted approach is efficient and more accurate than traditional knee surgery and is designed to ensure optimal implant selection and positioning based on your unique anatomy.

The end result is a more natural-feeling knee.

And, unlike other robotics-assisted platforms, the CORI Surgical System’s real-time planning eliminates the need to undergo a preoperative CT scan thereby reducing patient exposure to potentially harmful radiation.
