November 6, 2026 – DePuy Synthes announced the U.S. introduction of the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution with AutoPlan, an automated planning capability designed to support the growing adoption of kinematic alignment techniques in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
AutoPlan applies surgeon’s pre-defined alignment and balance parameters to generate a kinematic alignment surgical plan. The company says that with one touch, AutoPlan helps reduce manual adjustments while surgeons assess, refine, and approve the final plan. The capability builds on DePuy Synthes’ broader Kinematic Restoration approach, bringing together the ATTUNE Knee System, VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution and surgical techniques to support personalized knee replacement.
Deployment is underway at select U.S. sites, with broader commercial expansion expected through the first quarter of 2027.
