Understanding Your Knee Replacement with the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution
On June 20th, 2024, Dr. Schneider performed the first knee replacement surgery using the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution at The Orthopaedic Surgery Center. This advanced technology assists surgeons in performing highly precise knee replacement surgeries tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.
In 2019, approximately 900,000 primary knee replacements were performed in the United States. Many patients are now looking for the latest technology to improve outcomes, increase mobility, and shorten recovery times. The VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution aids surgeons in making real-time decisions during the procedure, ensuring accurate removal of damaged bone. Unlike traditional methods, this robotic-assisted device uses infrared cameras and optical trackers to gather detailed data about your knee, working exclusively with the ATTUNE™ Knee System. This innovative knee implant is designed to increase stability and reduce pain, providing a better range of motion and preventing the unstable feeling some patients experience during everyday activities.
How Does the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution Work?
- Real-Time Data: Uses advanced technology to provide insights for real-time decision-making.
- Precision: Assists surgeons in accurately removing damaged bone without autonomous movement.
- Technology: Employs infrared cameras and optical trackers to gather precise anatomical data.
The benefits of using the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution include a greater range of motion, less pain, and faster recovery times than traditional knee replacement methods. This technology allows for a personalized approach to your knee replacement, ensuring a precise fit and potentially better outcomes.
Why Choose Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?
- Less Pain: Potential for reduced post-surgery pain.
- Faster Recovery: Quicker recovery times and reduced hospital stays.
- Consistency: More consistent surgical outcomes.
Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin Surgeons are now using the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution to ensure predictable results, improve outcomes, increase mobility, and help patients recover faster. Dr. Schneider and Dr. Holub are excited to bring this advanced technology to our patients and offer them the best possible care.
