\n Droitwich Spa Hospital has carried out its first robotic-assisted knee replacement using the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution, an advanced surgical system designed to improve patient outcomes and speed up recovery.\n<\/p>\n
\n Produced by Johnson & Johnson MedTech, the VELYS system works with the ATTUNE Knee System and is designed to help surgeons perform precise knee replacements through real-time data and surgical guidance.\n<\/p>\n
\n It can optimise implant placement, preserve soft tissue around the knee joint, and operate without the need for CT scans.\n<\/p>\n
\n The ATTUNE Knee System has been shown to improve patient-reported outcomes by better aligning with each patient’s anatomy, resulting in improved stability and range of motion after surgery.\n<\/p>\n
\n Shahbaz Malik, consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Droitwich Spa Hospital, performed the first procedure using the new system on March 13.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “Introducing VELYS technology at Droitwich Spa Hospital is an important step forward for patients across Worcestershire needing treatment for knee arthritis and orthopaedic surgery.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This advanced robotic-assisted system allows us to perform both total and partial knee replacements with enhanced precision, tailored to each patient\u2019s individual anatomy.\n<\/p>\n
\n “For patients, this means a more personalised surgical experience, with the potential for less pain, faster recovery times, and improved long-term outcomes.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Ultimately, it enables us to deliver high-quality care closer to home for the communities we serve.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Droitwich Spa Hospital has a strong record of patient outcomes in knee replacement surgery and is recognised as a gold accredited provider of orthopaedic surgery by the National Joint Registry.\n<\/p>\n
\n The addition of the VELYS system is expected to further boost its reputation for clinical excellence.\n<\/p>\n
\n Pamela Smith, executive director at Droitwich Spa Hospital, said: “For over 40 years, we have made a commitment to provide the patients in our care with the latest medical technology in modern and welcoming facilities.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The arrival of our VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution is a major milestone for the hospital and promises to ensure that we can continue to provide our patients with an outstanding quality of care.”\n<\/p>\n
