A knee replacement is a procedure that is performed to repair damaged and
worn out knees with a safe and reliable implant. With Memorial's advanced
robotic-assisted devices, our trained orthopedic surgeons can provide
personalized surgery, tailored-made for your specific healthcare needs.
Every patient is different - as is every knee replacement. In the hands
of our orthopedic experts, the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution
helps our surgeons deliver optimized surgical results.
How does the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution work?
The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution uses a variety of advanced technologies
to ensure the surgeon has the information and tools they need to perform
a highly accurate and precise knee replacement. This solution is designed to:
Aid your surgeon by accessing state-of-the-art 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.
Use an infrared camera and optical trackers to help your surgeon gather
the necessary data about your anatomy to achieve a high level of precision.
What are the benefits of using robotic-assisted technology?
What are the benefits of using robotic-assisted technology?
There are a number of potential benefits to utilizing robotic-assisted
technology for knee replacement. Primarily, during the surgical procedure,
the technology is able to gather useful, detailed information of your
knee, helping your surgeon provide a more tailored implant and fit, which
can lead to a greater range of motion, less pain, and a faster recovery time.
Important Safety Information As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. The performance
of knee replacements depends on age, weight, activity level and other
factors. There are potential risks, and recovery takes time. People with
conditions that limit rehabilitation should not undergo this surgery.
Only an orthopedic surgeon can determine if knee replacement surgery is
an option for you.
