VELYS Certified · Johnson & Johnson · Chandigarh Tricity

When the knee needs a surgeon who is certain.

Most joint replacements still rely on the surgeon's eye. We use VELYS — a robotic system accurate to 0.5mm. Dr. Atul Malhotra was the first to bring it to Chandigarh.

Chief Surgeon

Dr. Atul Malhotra

Patients come from Ludhiana, Ambala, and Jammu to see him in Sector 21C. That is not marketing. That is referrals.

He completed his MBBS, MS Orthopaedics, and DNB. Trained in Singapore, where robotic joint replacement was already routine. He came back to Chandigarh. That is where his patients are.

In 2023, he performed the first VELYS robotic knee replacement in the Chandigarh tricity region.

The 0.5mm difference.

An implant placed 3mm off-centre causes years of discomfort. VELYS controls placement to sub-millimetre accuracy — impossible by hand alone.

Common Questions

Things patients ask.

Is robotic knee surgery safe?+
Yes. The VELYS system is FDA-cleared and used in over 100,000 procedures globally. Dr. Malhotra is certified by Johnson & Johnson Medical. The surgeon is always in full control.
How long is recovery after knee replacement?+
Most patients walk within 24 hours. Discharged day 3–4. Managing stairs by 6 weeks. Full recovery in 3–4 months.
Is ARV the only hospital with VELYS in Chandigarh?+
Dr. Malhotra performed the first VELYS robotic knee replacement in the Chandigarh tricity region. This remains one of the most advanced robotic systems available in the area.
What does knee replacement cost?+
Cost varies based on surgery type, implant choice, and hospital stay. We provide a detailed breakdown at consultation. Insurance accepted for eligible procedures.
Can physiotherapy avoid surgery for knee arthritis?+
In early-to-moderate arthritis, yes — sometimes for years. But cartilage does not grow back. Once bone-on-bone, surgery is the honest answer.
