A knee replacement is a procedure performed to fix the damaged parts of
a knee with different types of implants. Memorial offers advanced technology
with robotic-assisted devices that can help our surgeons perform a precise
knee replacement surgery personalized for your specific anatomy.1

Every knee is different, as is every patient requiring a knee replacement
procedure. The VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution assists our surgeons
in optimizing surgical outcomes by using intra-operative data that's unique
to you. Memorial’s surgeons utilize the technology during your procedure
to enhance the accuracy and precision of your knee replacement to help
you start moving again.1
How does the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution work?
The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution uses a variety of advanced technologies
to ensure the surgeon has the information and tools they need to perform
a highly accurate and precise knee replacement1 . This solution is designed to:
• Aid your surgeon by accessing state-of-the-art technology to provide
insights for real-time decision making
• Help your surgeon remove the damaged bone with accuracy. This robotic-assisted
device does not move or operate on its own.
• Use an infrared camera and optical trackers to help your surgeon
gather the necessary data about your anatomy to achieve a high level of precision

What are the benefits of using robotic-assisted technology?
What are the benefits of using robotic-assisted technology?
There are a number of potential benefits to using this technology for your
knee replacement.* During your procedure, the technology will gather details
and data related to your knee to help find a favorable implant fit. Additionally,
robotic-assisted technology may allow our surgeon to perform a knee replacement
tailored to you, while providing both precision and accuracy during your procedure1.
Robotic-assisted technology may deliver*:
• A greater range of motion (how well you can bend and flex your knee
after surgery)3
• Less pain compared to traditional methods3
• Faster recovery times (reduced length of hospital stay, hospital
readmissions, and health visits).3,6,7
Important Safety Information As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. The performance
of knee replacements depends on age, weight, activity level and other
factors. There are potential risks, and recovery takes time. People with
conditions that limit rehabilitation should not undergo this surgery.
Only an orthopedic surgeon can determine if knee replacement surgery is
an option for you.
