Myongji Hospital Introduces Artificial Joint Surgery Robot 'Qubis Joint'...Surgical Precision Increased

Artificial joint surgery robot QVius Joint.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Myongji Hospital announced on the 4th that it has introduced the artificial joint surgery robot 'CUVIS joint'.

The CUVIS joint can precisely cut bones based on data analyzed from 3D stereoscopic images before surgery, including the shape, form, position, and angle of the bones. With a low error rate and reduced bleeding and pain, it is expected to lessen the burden of artificial joint surgery for elderly patients.

CUVIS joint, developed purely with domestic technology by Curexo, automates the entire bone cutting process during artificial joint surgery, compensating for variations in surgical outcomes caused by the surgeon's skill or experience.

The CUVIS joint became available for use in surgical settings after the orthopedic surgery team led by Professor Kim Jin-gu at Myongji Hospital was selected as the recipient in the medical surgical robot category of the 'Service Robot Utilization Demonstration Project' by the Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement.

Professor Kim stated, "Artificial joint surgery involves cutting damaged bones to insert artificial joints, and precise bone cutting is directly linked to treatment outcomes. We will faithfully carry out national projects, including providing better medical services using surgical robots, verifying the performance of domestically produced surgical robots, and conducting research utilizing clinical data."

Professor Kim is a leading authority in sports medicine and knee joint fields, known for surpassing 3,000 cases of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, serving as the team doctor for speed skater Lee Sang-hwa, and treating numerous national athletes such as Ahn Jung-hwan, Hong Sung-heun, and Park Tae-hwan.
