A knee replacement is a procedure performed to fix the damaged parts of a knee with different types of implants. Advanced technology like robotic-assisted devices can help your surgeon perform a precise knee replacement surgery personalized for your specific needs.
Robotic knee replacement doesn't replace a human surgeon. The process is similar to a traditional knee replacement, but before the surgery, you'll get specialized scans that create a 3-D images of your knee. This helps your surgeon plan your surgery. Then surgeon will use a robotic arm that has the information from the images to guide them through the procedure.
One form of robotic total knee replacement is the VELYS™ Robotic Assisted-Solution. It helps improve surgical outcomes by giving your surgeon unique data during your knee replacement. This helps your surgeon make sure your knee replacement is as precise as possible, so only damaged bone is removed and the joint is better aligned.
