The technology

Robotic assistance, surgeon in control.

ROSA® and VELYS™ map your knee in 3D, let your surgeon plan implant position by the degree and millimetre, and verify every cut against that plan before implants are placed. The robot never operates independently — it makes your surgeon's plan more precise.

Pathway's knee surgeons also use the subvastus (quadriceps-sparing) approach, which preserves the quadriceps tendon and may promote earlier mobility in the first weeks. Implants include Persona® and ATTUNE® systems, with modern designs lasting 20+ years with proper care.

Traveling for surgery

Patients fly in from across Canada.

Consult virtually first, travel only for the procedure. Your package includes a partner hotel near the surgical centre and private car service for all local transport. Most knee replacement patients stay 1–3 nights before flying or taking the train home — your care team books all of it, and your surgeon remains available for virtual follow-up.

FAQ

Knee replacement in Montreal, asked and answered.

Consultations within 1–4 business days, in person or by secure video; surgery typically within 2–4 weeks of consultation and quote approval.
You receive an estimated quote on your initial phone call and a complete written quote after your surgeon consultation — surgeon, anesthesia, facility, implant, and follow-up in one number. Financing through Beautifi; private insurance and HSAs often apply to eligible costs.
Robotic systems like ROSA and VELYS help plan implant position pre-operatively and verify it during surgery, which has been shown in multiple studies to improve alignment accuracy compared to manual instrumentation. Long-term outcome data is still being collected, and your fellowship-trained surgeon will discuss whether robotic assistance fits your knee anatomy and arthritis pattern.
Most patients walk with a walker or cane within 1–2 days of surgery. Full recovery typically takes 3–6 months, with significant improvements in the first 6 weeks. The subvastus (quadriceps-sparing) approach used by Pathway's knee surgeons may promote earlier mobility in the initial weeks.
No — procedures at private surgical centres are not covered by RAMQ. You receive a complete written quote before you decide, and detailed invoices are provided for insurance submission.
Consult virtually, then travel for surgery. Hotel and private car service are included, most patients stay 1–3 nights, and pre-operative tests can usually be done in your home province. Follow-up happens virtually once you're home.
At accredited private surgical centres in Westmount, Mont-Royal, and Laval — your care team books the one that fits your case and shares the address at scheduling.
