Dr. Hardik Shah performs robotic knee replacement with the Johnson & Johnson VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution at DHS Multispecialty Hospital, Gurukul. VELYS is imageless technology. Live digital mapping in the operating room means no pre-operative imaging is needed, allowing precise implant placement and a faster recovery — so patients and their families can get back to everyday life sooner.
Robotic knee replacement represents the pinnacle of orthopedic surgical advancement. This cutting-edge technique combines the surgeon's expertise with computer-guided precision to achieve optimal implant placement and alignment that would be impossible with traditional methods.
Dr. Hardik Shah, a leading robotic knee replacement surgeon in Ahmedabad, uses the VELYS imageless robotic system. The technology maps your knee's unique anatomy digitally and in real time during surgery — with no pre-operative imaging required — allowing for millimeter-level precision in bone preparation and implant positioning.
Robot-assisted surgery achieves sub-millimeter accuracy in bone preparation and implant placement, ensuring perfect alignment that lasts longer.
Smaller incisions and precise tissue handling result in less trauma to surrounding muscles and ligaments, promoting faster healing.
Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays, earlier mobilization, and quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional surgery.
Advanced planning and execution minimize surgical risks, reducing the likelihood of revision surgery and post-operative complications.
Computer analysis ensures optimal implant sizing and positioning based on your unique anatomy, not surgical estimation.
Precise alignment leads to more natural knee movement, improved stability, and better overall joint performance.
Surgery is performed at the DHS Multispecialty Hospital Twin-Tower Facility in Gurukul, Ahmedabad, with the VELYS robotic system in the operating theatre, cashless insurance support and physiotherapy for rehabilitation after surgery.

| What matters | VELYS robotic knee replacement | Traditional knee replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | Your knee is mapped digitally in real time during surgery; bone cuts are guided with sub-millimetre precision and verified live | Alignment relies on manual cutting guides and the surgeon's visual judgement |
| Recovery time | Most patients stand with support on the day of surgery and go home in 1–2 days | Typically a longer hospital stay and a slower start to rehabilitation |
| Incision size | Smaller incision with precise, gentler handling of muscles and ligaments | Larger exposure to fit manual instruments |
| Longevity | Precise implant alignment and balance, which can support implant life of 15–25 years | Implant life depends on the alignment achieved manually |
Every patient is assessed individually; Dr. Shah recommends robotic or conventional surgery based on what suits your knee.
