Personalized Alignment: Achieving Precision in Knee Replacement Surgery

In the past, knee replacement surgery was often performed under the “one-size-fits-all” concept, aligning the knee prosthesis according to standard angles such as a perfectly straight position.

This approach overlooked individual anatomical differences and unique movement patterns. As a result, some patients felt their new knee was “unnatural,” experienced stiffness when walking, or discomfort after prolonged activity, which affected long-term quality of life.

Today, knee replacement surgery is no longer just about precision—it’s about personalized precision. The concept of “Personalized Alignment” focuses on tailoring the prosthesis placement to match each patient’s natural anatomy and movement, helping them return to a more natural way of moving after surgery.

Why is Personalized Alignment better?

  1. Custom-tailored design – Using 3D data from the patient’s own body, including gait, knee bending angles, and bone alignment, to design an implant position that truly fits the patient.
  2. Greater accuracy with robotic assistance – The Velys robotic-assisted solution acts like an “intelligent surgical partner,” ensuring the prosthesis is positioned precisely as planned, with enhanced accuracy.
  3. More natural movement – Because the prosthesis is aligned with the patient’s natural motion path, the knee feels less foreign, recovery is faster, and patients regain confidence in their steps.
  4. Reduced risk of complications – Minimizes wear and tear on the prosthesis and lowers the chance of revision surgery in the future.

With the Velys robotic-assisted solution, knee replacement is not only more accurate and precise but also less painful and uniquely personalized to each patient—transforming the surgical experience into a positive one.
