VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
Advanced Technology. Personalized Knee Care.
At Phelps Memorial Health Center in Holdrege, Nebraska, we're proud to offer the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution for total knee replacement surgery. This advanced technology helps orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Schopp perform knee replacements with enhanced precision, using real-time information tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.
Robotic-assisted technology is designed to support more personalized surgical care, helping patients work toward improved mobility, reduced pain and a return to the activities they enjoy.
What Is VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?
The VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution is an advanced surgical technology that assists orthopedic surgeons during total knee replacement procedures.
Using an infrared camera and optical tracking technology, the system provides real-time information about the patient's knee anatomy. This allows the surgeon to make precise adjustments throughout the procedure.
The surgeon remains in control at all times. The robotic-assisted system does not perform surgery independently.
Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
The VELYS™ system is designed to support greater precision and personalized implant placement during knee replacement surgery.
Potential benefits include:
- Enhanced Precision: Real-time information helps guide accurate implant positioning.
- Personalized Approach: Surgical adjustments are based on each patient's unique knee anatomy.
- Improved Mobility: Precise implant placement may support better knee movement and function.
- Reduced Pain: Some patients may experience less pain following surgery.
- Faster Recovery: Robotic-assisted techniques may support a smoother recovery for some patients.
Individual results vary based on each patient's condition, overall health and recovery process.
How Does VELYS™ Technology Work?
The VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution works with the ATTUNE™ Knee System, a knee replacement implant designed to support stability and natural movement.
During surgery, the technology helps your surgeon:
- Collect real-time information about your knee anatomy
- Plan and guide precise bone preparation
- Position the knee implant based on your individual anatomy
- Evaluate knee alignment and stability throughout the procedure
Together, these technologies help support a more personalized approach to total knee replacement.
Is Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Right for You?
If knee pain, stiffness or limited mobility is affecting your daily activities, knee replacement surgery may be an option.
During your consultation, your orthopedic surgeon will evaluate your condition, discuss available treatment options and determine whether robotic-assisted knee replacement is appropriate for you.
Not every patient requires surgery, and treatment recommendations are based on individual needs.
