The South Bend Clinic is excited to introduce Velys Hip Navigation (VHN) for total hip replacements. This innovative technology enhances the precision and personalization of hip replacement surgeries, allowing for tailored surgical plans that cater to each patient’s unique anatomy.
How It Works
Velys Hip Navigation works in tandem with advanced surgical techniques to provide real-time data, helping your surgeon determine the best placement and alignment for your hip implant. When used with the anterior approach for total hip replacements, this system offers key benefits. It avoids cutting major muscles, leading to less post-surgery pain. Patients experience a quicker recovery, returning to daily activities sooner. The anterior method also promotes better alignment and muscle preservation, significantly reducing the risk of dislocation. After an anterior total hip replacement, you will also have no restrictions on range of motion and can resume low-impact activities without limitations.
Additionally, Velys Hip Navigation ensures that your surgeon can achieve optimal results by recreating natural anatomy and maintaining proper leg length. This technology improves the accuracy of implant positioning and enhances hip stability throughout the range of motion. With Velys Hip Navigation, patients can expect a more natural feel from their new hip, which is crucial for daily activities.
