Peer Perspectives

October 21, 2025

Welcome back to Peer Perspectives, your quarterly connection to the latest clinical insights and shared experiences from the VELYS™ Community.

In this issue, explore real-world surgical strategies for both primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty, from managing well-fixed femoral stem removal to refining kinematic alignment techniques. Learn how KINCISE™ 2 System and WATSON EXTRACTION SYSTEM™ support precision, efficiency, and improved surgical confidence.

Inside the procedure: kinematic alignment with Brian Haughom, MD

Join Dr. Brian Haughom inside the OR as he performs a kinematically-aligned TKA using the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution with the ATTUNE™ Knee System. This intraoperative walkthrough highlights how precise registration, patient-specific slope matching, and a measured resection strategy guide his decisions in executing a personalized alignment.
