When OrthoSC added the robot, it was the first of its kind in the state and the first outpatient joint replacement system in the area, according to a Jan. 17 news release sent to Becker’s. 

Dr. Brothers is a joint replacement specialist who has been offering knee replacements using the Velys system since 2021. He has been practicing at OrthoSC since 2016. 

The release claims the Velys robot offers patients a number of benefits, including less blood loss, faster recovery times and tailored plans for each specific patient. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
