Knees are the largest joints in the human body, and they are an intricate network of ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Knee injuries and pain can be debilatating and take away from your quality of life by limiting your mobility and comfort.
If you are suffering from a knee injury or chronic knee pain, our experts can help you get back to doing what you love comfortably. Having functional and comfortable movements can be crucial to maintaining good longterm health. We are here to help you with many treatment options, and together we can find the best option for you as an individual.
Conditions treated and treatment options available may include:
- Knee arthritis and osteoarthritis
- ACL reconstruction
- Meniscectomy and meniscal repair
- Total knee joint replacement
- Robotic Assisted Joint Replacement

Now Offering Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery
Chronic knee pain, often caused by arthritis or injury, can severely impact a patient’s quality of life. Total knee replacement (TKR) has long been the gold standard for relieving pain and restoring function. Now, advancements in robotic technology are revolutionizing this surgery, making it more precise, personalized, and effective than ever before.
In addition to the traditional knee replacement surgery, Grant Regional is now offering one of the latest advancements in this field - the Robotic-Assisted Solution, a tool that helps make knee replacement more precise and tailored to each patient. Robotic-assisted knee replacement integrates state-of-the-art technology into traditional knee replacement procedures. It combines the expertise of our surgeon with the precision of robotic systems, offering unparalleled accuracy in implant placement and joint alignment.
What Is the Robotic-Assisted System?
The Robotic-Assisted Solution is not a robot that performs surgery independently; instead, it’s a high-tech assistant (or robotic arm) that helps orthopedic surgeons perform a knee replacement with even greater accuracy. Using real-time data, the VELYS system maps out a patient’s unique knee structure, allowing orthopedic surgeons to place the new knee joint in the most natural, balanced position for patients.
Key Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
- Improved Accuracy: With robotic assistance, our surgeon can perform the surgery with exceptional precision, down to millimeters. This accuracy promotes better joint function and stability, crucial for active patients looking to return to sports or physical activities.
- Reduced Recovery Time: The VELYS system allows for less soft tissue disruption compared to traditional knee replacement. As a result, patients experience less pain post-surgery and often recover more quickly, allowing for a faster return to daily activities.
- Longer-Lasting Results: Because the robotic system optimizes implant positioning, patients can enjoy a longer lifespan for their knee replacements. Studies show that accurate alignment can improve the longevity of knee implants, reducing the need for revision surgeries later in life
- Customized to the Patient: Every patient’s knee is unique, and robotic-assisted surgery tailors each procedure to the individual's anatomy. This level of customization is particularly beneficial for patients with complex knee structures or advanced arthritis.
Is This the Right Choice for Everyone?
Not everyone needs a robotic-assisted knee replacement, but for many patients, it offers added benefits in terms of comfort and mobility. We’ll consider each patient’s knee condition, overall health, and lifestyle goals to decide if it is the right approach for them.
