Robotic Knee Replacement: MAKO vs VELYS vs CUVIS vs CORI — What Every MSK Clinician Should Know
Not all robotic knee replacement systems are the same. But how do they differ, and does the choice of technology influence patient outcomes?
Join Dr Sunil G. Kini of Manipal Hospitals, Bengaluru, for a practical, evidence-based comparison of four leading robotic platforms: MAKO, VELYS, CUVIS and CORI.
Drawing on his clinical experience, Dr Kini will explore the advantages, limitations and applications of each platform, with insights relevant to both practising orthopaedic surgeons and MSK clinicians involved in patient referrals and rehabilitation.
Key Topics
Four robotic platforms compared: Surgical planning, workflow, precision and clinical applications.
Patient selection: Choosing the appropriate surgical approach for individual patients.
Clinical outcomes: Robotic versus conventional knee replacement — what does the evidence show?
Rehabilitation and recovery: Realistic expectations, prehabilitation and postoperative care.
When to refer: Recognising patients who may benefit from orthopaedic assessment.
A case-based educational session featuring practical clinical insights and live Q&A.

Dr Sunil G. Kini is an internationally fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with over 22 years of experience, specialising in primary and revision hip and knee replacement, robotic-assisted arthroplasty and joint preservation.
International Fellowships & Training
United Kingdom: Senior Fellowship in Hip and Knee Surgery, University College London Hospitals (UCLH), London
Australia: Fellowship in Hip and Knee Surgery, Sydney
Germany: Fellowship in Arthroplasty and Hip and Knee Surgery
Singapore: Fellowship in Adult Reconstruction
Dr Kini has performed over 12,000 orthopaedic procedures, including more than 5,000 joint replacements. His academic contributions include over 30 publications in internationally indexed journals, more than 50 international scientific presentations, and serving as a reviewer for The Bone & Joint Journal, a leading international peer-reviewed orthopaedic journal.
With international surgical training and experience across a joint replacement programme incorporating MAKO, VELYS, CUVIS and CORI, Dr Kini is particularly well positioned to provide a comparative perspective on robotic technologies, surgical decision-making and patient outcomes.
His combination of international training, extensive operative experience and academic contributions makes this a valuable opportunity to learn from an experienced robotic joint replacement surgeon.

What Will You Gain?
For MSK Physiotherapists & Referring Clinicians
Gain practical insights into recognising when patients with knee osteoarthritis may benefit from surgical assessment, understanding the differences between robotic technologies and counselling patients about treatment options, recovery and rehabilitation.
Learn what information surgeons value in a referral and how physiotherapists can contribute to prehabilitation, postoperative recovery and continuity of care.
For Orthopaedic Surgeons
Explore a comparative perspective on MAKO, VELYS, CUVIS and CORI, including surgical planning, operative workflow, technology selection and clinical applications.
Understand the practical considerations, advantages and limitations of different robotic systems, informed by real-world surgical experience.
Why Attend?
Few educational sessions offer a practical comparison of four robotic knee replacement platforms from a single surgeon's perspective.
Move beyond marketing claims to understand what robotic technology actually contributes, what the evidence supports and how these insights can inform everyday clinical decisions.
Four platforms. Practical insights. More informed clinical decisions.
