Data to Decisions: The Evolving Role of Robotics & Innovation in Joint Reconstruction
Tuesday 13 October 2026, 6:30–9:00pm
Trinity Terrace, Cairns Convention Centre
Join us to explore the innovations transforming hip and knee arthroplasty, from advanced planning and robotics to complex reconstruction strategies. Join expert faculty as they discuss the evidence, clinical applications, and future trends shaping surgical decision-making and patient outcomes.
Faculty: Prof. Edward Davis (UK), plus more to be announced.
The power of personalised knee arthroplasty
To adapt to the individual circumstances of patients, the need to personalise surgery has never been more crucial. Join us to experience the power of our handheld robotics platform and advanced implant portfolio.
+ Focus on joint line restoration, combining a robotics-assisted procedure with anatomic implant design
+ Get your hands on the CORI◊ Surgical System to learn the features, capabilities and surgical workflow
+ Examine key clinical data for the JOURNEY II◊ Total Knee System with OXINIUM◊ Oxidized Zirconium
