Robotic Knee Replacement at Orthomax Hospital

Featuring North India’s First VELYS™ Robotic System

At Orthomax Hospital, we proudly lead orthopedic innovation in Uttar Pradesh as the first hospital in North India to introduce the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution for knee replacement. This next-generation technology ensures greater precision, enhanced safety, minimal pain, and faster recovery. With personalized surgical planning, accurate implant positioning, and expert orthopedic care, patients benefit from improved outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to daily activities. Supported by advanced infrastructure and dedicated rehabilitation, Orthomax Hospital delivers world-class, patient-centered knee replacement treatment close to home.

What is VELYS Robotic-Assisted Surgery?

Over the past two decades, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has revolutionized joint replacement. The VELYS system represents the latest advancement in this field. Unlike traditional methods, this technology allows the surgeon to create a 3D map of your knee without the need for radiation-heavy CT scans.

Before the implant is placed, our surgeons use handheld robotics to precisely shape the surrounding bone. The system provides real-time data on your unique anatomy, allowing for distinct incisions and angles tailored specifically to your knee. The robotic assistance ensures that only damaged bone is removed, preserving your natural, healthy tissue.

Why Choose Robotic Knee Replacement at Orthomax?

1. Unmatched Accuracy & Safety The VELYS system allows for sub-millimeter accuracy. By targeting precise angles and incisions, the robot ensures that adjacent tissues (ligaments and nerves) are protected, significantly reducing the risk of surgical complications.

Note: While the robot enhances precision, the surgery is surgeon-controlled, not robot-dependent. The robot is a tool that enhances the skill of our expert surgeons.

2. Radiation-Free (No CT Scan Required) One of the most significant benefits of the VELYS system is that it is “image-less.” Traditional robotic systems often require a pre-operative CT scan, which subjects patients to radiation equivalent to 48 chest X-rays. At Orthomax, our advanced computer program collects anatomical and alignment data during the surgery, eliminating the need for harmful pre-op radiation.

3. Natural Feeling Joint A major goal of knee replacement is “dynamic ligament balancing.” The robotic system helps the surgeon balance the soft tissues at various stages of the surgery. This results in a knee that feels more natural to the patient post-surgery, rather than mechanical.

4. Speed and Precision Control The robotic system creates a safety zone. The speed of the surgical burr automatically adjusts based on proximity to the target bone, ensuring no accidental damage occurs to surrounding areas.

5. Faster Recovery Because the procedure is minimally invasive and utilizes smaller incisions to reach remote tissue, patients often experience less pain, less blood loss, and a quicker return to daily activities.

The Surgical Process: Step-by-Step

At Orthomax Hospital, our robotic total knee replacement follows a clinically validated, streamlined process:

Real-Time Imaging: Unlike older methods requiring pre-op CT scans, we use sensors and arrays on the operating table to create a virtual 3D model of your limb in real-time.
Soft Tissue Assessment: The surgeon performs special maneuvers to feed data regarding soft tissue tension into the robot. The computer now understands both your bony anatomy and your ligament balance.
Virtual Planning: Before any bone is cut, the surgeon fine-tunes the size and position of the implant on the computer screen to match your specific anatomy.
Precision Preparation: The robot guides the surgeon to prepare the bone with accuracy within a millimeter. This eliminates the errors associated with manual instrumentation.
Implantation & Verification: The artificial joint is implanted. Because the system offers virtual confirmation, the surgeon verifies the alignment and soft tissue tension while you are still in the operating room, ensuring a perfectly aligned knee.
