Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
Mr George offers robotic-assisted knee replacement using the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution — one of the most advanced technologies currently available in knee replacement surgery. It combines detailed, personalised surgical planning with real-time precision during the operation, helping achieve accurate implant positioning while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
How VELYS™ Works
Every knee is different, and a successful knee replacement depends on getting balance, alignment, and implant positioning right for that specific joint.
Before surgery, data about your individual knee anatomy is used to build a tailored surgical plan. During the operation, the VELYS™ system provides detailed, real-time measurements, allowing Mr George to make precise adjustments throughout.
It's important to be clear about what this means: the robotic system doesn't perform the surgery. Mr George performs the operation; VELYS™ is a sophisticated guidance tool that supports his ability to tailor the procedure exactly to your anatomy.
Potential Benefits
Greater precision in implant placement compared with conventional instrumentation
A more natural-feeling knee, since positioning is tailored to your individual anatomy rather than an average
Preservation of healthy tissue, supporting better long-term joint function
For some patients, reduced early post-operative pain and a quicker return to normal activity
Am I a Candidate?
Robotic-assisted knee replacement isn't automatically the right choice for every patient - conventional technique remains entirely appropriate for many cases.
Suitability depends on your specific knee anatomy, the pattern of your arthritis, and your individual circumstances.
Mr George will assess this directly and give you an honest recommendation as part of your consultation.
