VELYS Robotic Knee Replacement at DHS Multispecialty Hospital Ahmedabad

What is VELYS Robotic Knee Replacement?

VELYS is an imageless robotic-assisted total knee replacement system. Unlike older CT-based platforms (Mako, ROSA), VELYS does not require a pre-operative CT scan. During surgery, specialised probes register your knee's anatomy, dedicated software models ligament tension and joint movement in real time, and a robotic arm guides bone cuts with sub-millimetre precision. The surgeon remains fully in control; the robot improves accuracy and ligament balance.

VELYS Robotic Knee Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions

Is VELYS better than Mako or ROSA robotic knee replacement?
All major robotic platforms — VELYS, Mako, ROSA, CORI — deliver excellent accuracy in experienced hands. VELYS's main advantages are being imageless (no pre-op CT, no extra radiation), faster surgical workflow, and tight integration with the proven J&J Attune knee implant system.
Why doesn't VELYS need a CT scan?
VELYS uses intra-operative anatomy mapping. During surgery, specialised probes register your knee's bone landmarks and ligament tension in real time, and the software builds a personalised surgical plan on the spot. This eliminates pre-op CT cost, scheduling delays, and radiation exposure.
Which implant is used with VELYS robotic knee replacement?
VELYS is designed exclusively for the Johnson & Johnson Attune knee implant system, a globally proven primary and revision knee implant family.
What is the cost of VELYS robotic knee replacement at DHS Hospital Ahmedabad?
₹3,50,000 to ₹5,00,000 per knee at DHS Multispecialty Hospital, including surgeon fees, the J&J Attune implant, hospital charges, and basic rehabilitation. Cashless treatment is available with major insurers.
Is VELYS robotic knee replacement covered by insurance?
Yes. VELYS robotic knee replacement is covered by most Indian health insurance policies and TPAs. DHS Multispecialty Hospital is empaneled with major insurers and offers cashless processing — contact billing at +91 9081021444.
How long is recovery after VELYS robotic knee replacement?
Most patients walk aided on day 0, are discharged in 2–3 days, walk without aids in 1–2 weeks, return to normal daily activities (including driving) in 4–6 weeks, and reach full recovery with complete range of motion at 3–4 months.
Who performs VELYS robotic knee replacement at DHS Multispecialty Hospital?
The DHS robotic knee programme is led by Dr. Hardik Shah (Medical Director, MS Orthopedic, FRCS Germany) and Dr. Swagat Shah (FIAAS UK). The team has performed 15,000+ knee replacements across multiple platforms.
Is robotic knee replacement painful?
Robotic knee replacement uses standard anaesthesia and post-operative pain management. Sub-millimetre alignment and balanced ligaments often translate to less post-operative pain and earlier comfortable mobilisation than conventional manual technique.
