Dr. Darr Leutz, a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon at Blessing Health, is excited to showcase the latest knee replacement technology at a free public open house. The event will take place on Wednesday, April 24 at the Blessing Health Center located at 4800 Maine.
During the open house, Dr. Leutz will demonstrate the Velys robotic-assisted solution for total knee replacement. This technology brings a new level of digital precision to the operating room, offering a personalized approach to patient care based on their individual anatomy.
The Velys system features optical trackers that work with a high-speed camera to provide real-time data during surgery. Additionally, a robot-assisted device is used by Dr. Leutz to accurately remove damaged bone. He is enthusiastic about the positive outcomes that Velys has produced for his patients, stating that it truly is a game changer.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, over 700,000 total knee replacements are performed in the U.S. each year, a number that continues to rise as the population ages.
