Understanding Your Knee Replacement Surgery with the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution

A knee replacement is a procedure performed to fix the damaged parts of a knee with the different types of implants. Every knee is different, as is every patient requiring a knee replacement procedure.

Advanced technology like robotic-assisted devices can help your surgeon perform a precise knee replacement surgery personalized for your specific anatomy. The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution is designed for digital precision, which may improve early patient outcomes following total knee replacement surgery

How does the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution work?

The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution uses a variety of advanced technologies to provide the surgeon with the information and tools they need to perform an accurate and precise knee replacement.

It is designed to:

• Aid your surgeon by accessing technology to provide insights for real-time decision making.
• Help your surgeon remove the damaged bone with accuracy. This robotic-assisted device does not move or operate on its own. Your surgeon remains in control of the surgery and uses the system for guidance.
• Gather the necessary data about your knee's unique anatomy through the use of an infrared camera and optical trackers.

How does robotic-assisted knee replacement compare to a traditional knee replacement?

The goals of robotic-assisted knee replacement and traditional knee replacement are the same:

• Restore the knee joint by removing the damaged bone and cartilage
• Replace the damaged surfaces wit a knee implant

The primary difference between the two approaches to knee replacement are the enabling technologies that aid the procedure.

What are the benefits of using robotic-assisted technology?

There are several potential benefits to using this technology for your knee replacement. During your procedure, the technology will gather details and data related to your knee to help find a favorable implant fit. Additionally, robotic-assisted technology may allow your surgeon to perform a knee replacement tailored to you, while providing both precision and accuracy during your procedure.

Robotic-assisted technology may deliver:

• A greater range of motion (how well you can bend and flex your knee after surgery)
• Less pain compared to traditional methods
• Faster recovery times
