Keep reading to learn more about VELYS™ Robotic‐Assisted Solution and how we can help you get back on your feet so you never miss a moment.
What Is the VELYS™ Robotic‐Assisted Solution?
The VELYS™ Robotic‐Assisted Solution is a leading-edge surgical tool that helps surgeons perform total knee arthroplasty with higher precision and real-time decision-making for every patient’s unique anatomy.
Typically, patients assume that any robotic-assisted tool means the machine has some control over the procedure. But the VELYS™ system is unique because it doesn’t operate independently in any capacity. Your surgeon has full control of the machine from start to finish. This machine works alongside the ATTUNE Knee System to enhance surgical accuracy and improve patient outcomes.
How the VELYS™ Robotic‐Assisted Solution Works
The VELYS™ system uses advanced imaging technology, real-time feedback and specialized tracking tools to optimize knee replacement surgeries. It collects data about the patient’s knee through infrared cameras and optical trackers to help surgeons deliver the expert care you need.
This system helps your surgeon predict knee joint stability and implant positioning through advanced, 3D imaging. After the data is collected, the system aids your surgeon in removing damaged bone with higher precision and helps create a custom implant guide, ensuring a precise fit.
How the VELYS™ System Benefits You
For you, surgery with the VELYS™ system can mean an increased range of motion post-operation, faster recovery times and less pain overall compared to traditional methods. Its ability to enhance personalized treatment helps improve the longevity of the implant, leading to better outcomes and a greater quality of life.
Other benefits of the VELYS™ include:
- Improved balance and range of motion
- Smaller incisions
- Soft tissue preservation
Talk with your doctor to find out if the VELYS™ system is right for you and your needs.
Leading-Edge Technology for Better Outcomes
According to a study by the National Library of Medicine, the accuracy of femoral and tibial component positioning was improved with the VELYS™ system compared to manual methods without robotic technology. Because this system works exclusively with the ATTUNE Knee System, surgeons can optimize patients’ knee replacement experiences by combining technological advancements and implantation expertise.
These systems work together to offer many benefits for patients and surgeons, making the knee replacement process easier and your recovery smoother. At AdventHealth Fish Memorial, we’re committed to providing the leading-edge technologies and treatments so you can recover stronger.
