Gulf Orthopaedics surgeon Jay Savage, MD, has performed the first total knee replacement at Infirmary Health's Daphne (Ala.) Surgery Center, according to a Feb. 2 report from Gulf Coast Media.

Dr. Savage performed the surgery using a Velys robot, making Infirmary the first health system in Alabama to use the Velys system for a total knee replacement.  

The robot helps to ensure predictable results for surgeons, enhance outcomes, increase patient mobility and expedite recovery. 

The Daphne ASC performs nearly 200 procedures a year across a variety of specialties.
