Robotic Knee Replacement and Leadership

When patients hear about robotic surgery, one of the first questions is: “Do I need a CT scan before the operation?” With many robotic systems, the answer is yes—but not with the VELYS™️ Robotic-Assisted Solution. This advanced system is designed to work CT-free, making surgery safer, simpler, and faster for patients.

Why CT-Free Matters

  • No Extra Radiation: Traditional robotic systems often require CT scans before surgery, exposing patients to radiation.
  • Faster Process: Eliminates the need for additional hospital visits or costly scans.
  • Real-Time Precision: Instead of relying on pre-surgery images, the VELYS™️ creates a live digital model of your knee during the procedure.

How VELYS™️ Works in Surgery

  • Uses real-time imaging to map your knee.
  • Provides millimeter-level accuracy for bone cuts.
  • Assists the surgeon in balancing ligaments naturally.
  • Adapts to each patient’s unique anatomy on the operating table.

Benefits for Patients

  • Less hassle—no CT appointments before surgery.
  • Reduced overall treatment cost.
  • Safer, with no extra exposure to radiation.
  • Personalized alignment that matches your lifestyle and activity level.

Dr. Arumugam’s Insight

“VELYS™️ is one of the few systems that gives me precision without the need for pre-operative CT scans. For my patients, this means less time, less cost, and more confidence that the surgery is tailored in real-time.”

FAQs

Q1: Why do some robotic systems need CT scans?

➡️ They rely on pre-operative 3D images. VELYS™️, on the other hand, creates a digital model during surgery.

Q2: Does not having a CT affect accuracy?

➡️ Not at all. In fact, VELYS™️ improves accuracy by working with real-time, live data instead of older pre-surgery images.

Q3: Is this technology available in Chennai?

➡️ Yes. Dr. S. Arumugam performs CT-free robotic knee replacement with VELYS™️ at Chennai Ortho.


Conclusion

VELYS™️ Robotic-Assisted Solution is changing the way knee replacements are done. By eliminating the need for CT scans, it makes the process safer, faster, and more patient-friendly—without compromising accuracy.
