For individuals considering knee replacement surgery, minimally invasive techniques assisted by robotic technology may provide an option worth exploring. At West Coast Joint & Spine, the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution supports minimally invasive knee replacement surgery, assisting surgeons in performing procedures with enhanced precision and real-time data analysis. Understanding how this technology functions and its potential benefits may help patients make informed decisions about their care.
Minimally invasive joint surgery refers to procedures performed through smaller incisions than traditional open surgery. Minimally invasive approaches aim to reduce tissue disruption while assisting in joint function restoration. In the case of knee replacement surgery, minimally invasive techniques often incorporate robotic-assisted systems, such as VELYS, to support surgical precision and alignment.
The potential advantages of minimally invasive surgery vary based on individual health conditions, and a surgeon's consultation is necessary to determine the most appropriate approach.
The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution is designed to support surgeons in performing knee replacement surgery, emphasizing real-time data collection and precision-based guidance. Unlike traditional methods, this system does not require preoperative CT scans; instead, it uses intraoperative imaging to assist in knee alignment and implant positioning.
Robot-assisted techniques may help achieve optimal knee alignment, which could contribute to long-term joint function. However, outcomes vary, and individual patient factors must be considered when determining surgical suitability.
Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery with VELYS Robotic-Assisted Technology may be an option for individuals who:
Each patient's case is unique, and an evaluation with a healthcare provider can help determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Recovery timelines following robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery depend on various factors, including the patient's overall health, adherence to rehabilitation protocols, and the extent of the procedure. General expectations include:
Postoperative care, including adherence to physical therapy and follow-up consultations, is critical in optimizing recovery outcomes.
Exploring robotic-assisted options may provide additional insights into the treatment journey for individuals considering minimally invasive knee replacement surgery. West Coast Joint & Spine offers consultations to help patients determine whether VELYS Robotic-Assisted Technology aligns with their needs and goals.
