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.

FAQ

Knee replacement in Toronto, asked and answered.

Consultations within 1–4 business days; surgery typically within 2–4 weeks of your 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 have been shown in multiple studies to improve alignment accuracy compared to manual instrumentation, while long-term outcome data is still being collected. Your surgeon will discuss whether it fits your anatomy and arthritis pattern — the decision is clinical, and it's explained in plain language.
Most patients walk with a walker or cane within 1–2 days. Full recovery typically takes 3–6 months, with significant improvement in the first 6 weeks. You take a detailed post-op protocol to any physiotherapist in your area.
Your care team books your procedure at an accredited private surgical centre in midtown Toronto, or at one of our Montreal-area centres when that better fits your case — travel, hotel, and private car service coordinated when needed.
