Benefits of VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Precision and Accuracy: The system helps surgeons perform the surgery with great precision, improving joint stability and implant alignment.
Personalised Surgery: Each procedure is tailored to your individual anatomy, which can lead to better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.
Potential for Less Post-Op Pain: The technology allows the surgeon to remove only the damaged parts of your knee accurately, which may reduce postoperative pain.
Recovery: Many patients experience quicker recovery times, shorter hospital stays, and fewer readmissions.
CT-Free technology: VELYS™ uses advanced imaging without the need for pre-operative CT scans, making the process simpler and safer.

Is VELYS™ Right for You?

The VELYS™ Robot is designed for adults experiencing knee pain caused by:

Osteoarthritis – wear and tear of the knee joint
Rheumatoid arthritis – inflammation of the joint lining
Injury-related knee damage – including fractures or cartilage injuries

If you are unsure, simply ask your specialist knee consultant during your initial consultation. They will be more than happy to explain the benefits and check if this would be the best option for you.

What to expect if you have a VELYS™ robotic-assisted surgery?

Imaging: X-rays or other scans are used to plan the procedure and guide the robotic system.
Preparation: You’ll be given instructions on how to get ready, including guidance on diet, medications, or exercises.

During Surgery

Procedure: The VELYS™ system supports your consultant by providing real-time information to ensure precise cuts and accurate implant placement.
Duration: The surgery usually takes about an hour, depending on individual needs.
Anaesthesia: The procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia or spinal block for your comfort.

After Surgery

Recovery: Some patients are able to go home the same day, but for others it will be a maximum of one night stay.
