- Bumin Hospital President Dr. Yong-Chan Ha Performs Korea's First Successful Hip Replacement Using a Domestic Medical Robot

- Indication Expanded from Knee to Hip, Demonstrating an Expandable Surgical Platform

CUREXO, a medical robotics company led by CEO Jae-Jun Lee, announced on the 10th that it has successfully completed a total hip arthroplasty (THA) using CUVIS-Joint THA, marking the first successful clinical hip replacement performed by a Korean medical robotics company.

The surgery was performed at Seoul Bumin Hospital by Dr. Yong-Chan Ha, President of the hospital and a nationally and internationally recognized authority in hip surgery. This procedure is particularly significant as it represents the first clinical success by a domestic medical robotics company for the THA indication using CUVIS-Joint.

"Dr. Yong-Chan Ha of Seoul Bumin Hospital is performing hip replacement surgery using Curexo's CUVIS-Joint THA."

CUVIS-Joint THA establishes a three-dimensional preoperative surgical plan based on the patient's anatomical structure and enables highly precise bone resection through robotic assistance. This approach minimizes key variables in hip replacement surgery—such as implant positioning errors and leg length discrepancies—thereby maximizing surgical accuracy and consistency.

CUREXO has already led the commercialization of domestically developed orthopedic surgical robots through CUVIS-Joint for knee replacement procedures. With this successful hip replacement surgery, the company has expanded its application from the knee to the hip. This achievement demonstrates that CUVIS-Joint is an expandable surgical platform capable of supporting multiple joint replacement procedures within a single robotic system.

Dr. Ha stated, "This clinical case is highly meaningful in that it proves, through real-world practice, that Korean-developed surgical robots are capable of performing complex hip surgeries with a high level of precision. As surgical data continues to accumulate, CUVIS-Joint has the potential to drive transformative changes across the field of orthopedic surgery."

A CUREXO representative added, "CUVIS-Joint THA is a solution designed to maximize precision in complex hip replacement procedures. Having demonstrated our robotic capabilities in both knee and hip surgeries, we will continue striving to become a global leader in the orthopedic surgical robotics market."
