Robotic-assisted knee replacements (Velys)

Every knee is unique. Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses advanced technology to provide real-time data and enhanced precision during surgery.

How it works

  • Infrared cameras and optical trackers map your knee anatomy during surgery
  • A digital on-screen plan helps determine optimal implant positioning
  • A robotic arm assists Mr Pavlou in accurately removing damaged bone and cartilage and preparing the knee to precisely match the implant
  • The surgeon remains in full control at all times

Mr Pavlou’s preferred system is the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution, which works alongside the ATTUNE™ Knee System. Over 2 million ATTUNE™ knee replacements have been implanted worldwide since 2011.

Potential benefits

  • Improved alignment and accuracy
  • Protection of healthy tissue
  • Consistent surgical outcomes
  • Potential for smoother movement and faster early recovery
  • Some evidence suggests improved early recovery and knee movement, although long-term superiority over conventional techniques is still being studied
