Osteoarthritis of the Knee – A Challenge Faced by Over 10% of Thai Seniors

Osteoarthritis occurs when the knee joint surface deteriorates, thins, erodes, or becomes inflamed. This leads to pain and difficulty in movements such as standing, walking, or bearing weight. If left untreated, it may cause joint deformity or bow legs, affecting daily life. Patients often experience worsening pain, preventing them from enjoying their usual activities.

While medications and physical therapy can provide temporary relief, they may not be sufficient in some cases.

But today… you no longer have to live with the pain.

Knee replacement surgery with the VELYS™ Robotic System is a personalized treatment designed for precision, helping you walk again with movement that feels as natural as possible.

What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee replacement surgery is a procedure where the damaged or worn-out parts of the knee joint are carefully removed and replaced with an artificial joint. This helps reduce pain and allows you to move more comfortably.
After surgery, most patients can start moving and putting weight on the knee quite soon.
Successful results depend on several important factors:

• Accurate preparation of the bone surface
• Correct placement of the artificial joint
• Proper balance of the knee joint
• Choosing a high-quality implant that is specially designed to fit each patient’s knee

What Makes the VELYS™ Robotic System Stand Out

High Precision with Advanced Technology

• Intelligent Surgical Planning and Control: The VELYS™ robotic system works together with the surgeon to plan the procedure and guide the movement of surgical instruments with high accuracy.
• Real-Time Assessment: Using infrared cameras and advanced sensors, the system provides precise, real-time visualization of the shape, size, and angles of the patient’s bones, both before and during surgery. This ensures accurate implant placement and reduces errors compared to visual estimation alone.
• Instrument Safety: The system prevents saws or drills from moving outside the planned area, further minimizing the risk of mistakes.

Personalized Knee Joint Balancing

• Adjusts the knee to fit each patient’s unique anatomy.
• Ensures smooth movement during bending and straightening.
• Reduces tightness or looseness of tissues and ligaments around the knee.
• Promotes natural movement and lowers the risk of injury.

No CT Scan Needed

• Simplifies the procedure and saves time.
• Reduces costs associated with CT scans.
• Avoids unnecessary exposure to radiation.

Faster Recovery

• Patients recover more quickly, experience less pain, and return to daily life sooner.

Longer Implant Longevity

• The knee implant is durable and designed for long-term use.

Effective Results

• Works with the latest high-tech knee implants for optimal and lasting outcomes.
• Patients can resume normal activities, enjoy natural movement, and experience smooth knee function.

1. Patients with Age-Related Osteoarthritis

• Persistent knee pain due to osteoarthritis
• Knee wear and tear from aging or heavy use
• Stiff or bent knees
• Inability to fully straighten or bend the knee
• Loose or unstable knees
•  Knee function that feels unnatural, making it difficult to kneel, squat, or sit cross-legged

2. Patients with Osteoarthritis from Other Causes

• Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or injuries

• Conventional knee replacement relies on visual assessment and X-rays or CT scans, with results largely depending on the surgeon’s experience.
•  VELYS™ robotic-assisted surgery uses advanced technology to precisely plan and control the procedure.
• This reduces the limitations of traditional methods, increases safety, and helps patients recover faster.

If you or a loved one are experiencing knee osteoarthritis, don’t let it progress!
Schedule a consultation with your doctor to create the right treatment plan. Early care can help you regain confident, safe, and natural movement.
