HOLDREGE — Each year, more than 700,000 total knee replacements are performed in the United States.
As more patients seek relief from joint pain and look forward to a faster recovery, the demand for advanced, personalized surgical options continues to rise.
In response, hospitals across the nation are adopting innovative technologies that offer more tailored and precise outcomes for joint replacement surgery. Phelps Memorial Health Center in Holdrege is proud to bring the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution to the community.
This cutting-edge technology is now being offered by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffery Schopp, allowing him to perform total knee replacements with unmatched precision and personalization based on each patient’s unique anatomy. Robotic-assisted knee replacement may provide improved range of motion, reduced pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional techniques.
The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution works in conjunction with the ATTUNE™ Knee System, an innovative implant that helps improve stability and reduce pain. It supports better range of motion and helps patients avoid the instability some experience with other implants during routine movements like bending or climbing stairs.
The use of robotic-assisted knee replacements has grown significantly in recent years, with over 15.9% of total knee procedures now using robotic technology — a testament to its growing role in modern joint care.
