FDA has cleared a DePuy Synthes 510(k) for the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution and its use in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA)*.* The expanded indication builds upon the device’s cleared use in total knee arthroplasty.

Depuy says UKA (partial knee replacement) offers the potential for bone preservation and shortened recovery periods. “Despite the benefits, UKA is underutilized due to complexities that include smaller incisions and lack of visibility,” it adds.

The UKA application is designed for both medial and lateral procedures and allows surgeons to guide precise implant placement without a CT scan, according to the company. It is compatible with the SIGMA HP Unicondylar Knee System with reusable Intuition Instruments.
