In a significant advancement for joint surgery patients, Banner McKee Medical Center in Loveland, Colorado, has reached a milestone with the completion of Dr. Eric Gardner's 100th robotic-assisted knee replacement using the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution. This innovative technology is revolutionising the field of orthopaedics, offering faster recoveries and improved outcomes.

Dr. Gardner, a Banner Health orthopaedic specialist, praised the VELYS system for its ability to customise each knee replacement with incredible precision. The advanced technology utilises infrared cameras and optical trackers to guide accurate bone removal and implant positioning, tailored to the patient's unique knee anatomy.

Unlike fully autonomous robots, the VELYS system aids surgeons in real-time decision-making, enhancing surgical precision and reducing errors. This robotic assistance translates into clinical benefits such as smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced pain, and faster recovery.

One of the many success stories is that of Loveland resident Diana Larson. After having traditional knee replacement surgery on one leg in 2022, she underwent the robotic-assisted procedure with Dr. Gardner in March 2025. To her delight, she was home the same day and resumed biking and hiking within weeks.

The VELYS system also works alongside the ATTUNE™ Knee System implant, which enhances stability and range of motion while reducing pain associated with routine activities like bending or climbing stairs.

The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution has already been used by over 1.5 million patients worldwide, and its impact is evident in patient testimonials and surgical centre reports. Many patients report "fantastic" outcomes and a rapid return to comfortable mobility shortly after surgery.

For those in Northern Colorado seeking cutting-edge orthopaedic solutions, Banner McKee Medical Center offers the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution. Interested patients can contact the orthopaedic department by calling (970) 810-0020.
