Methods and devices are disclosed relating improved articular models, implant components, and related guide tools and procedures. In addition, methods and devices are disclosed relating articular models, implant components, and/or related guide tools and procedures that include one or more features derived from patient-data, for example, images of the patient's joint. The data can be used to create a model for analyzing a patient's joint and to devise and evaluate a course of corrective action. The data also can be used to create patient-adapted implant components and related tools and procedures.

Systems and methods for creating cuts on a bone are provided utilizing one or more cutting guides assembled to a plurality of bone pins, where the bone pins are inserted on the bone coincident with one or more virtual pin planes defined relative to one or more of the cuts. Alignment guides are also disclosed herein that aid in the creation of pilot holes for receiving a cutting block in a desired position and orientation (POSE). An articulating surgical device actively positions the bone pins coincident with the virtual plane to ensure the cutting guides, when assembled to the pins, aligns one or more guide slots in the desired POSE to create the cuts.

Methods, surgical instruments, and associated systems of performing orthopaedic surgical procedures on a patient's knee are disclosed.

Systems and methods for resecting a knee joint using a navigated pin guide driver system. The navigated pin guide driver system communicates with a navigation system to aid a user in placing cut block pins into the knee joint. The navigated pin guide driver system may include a handle, a reference element that electronically communicates with the navigation system, one or more pin guide tubes that may correspond to one or more cut blocks, and a distal tip that is configured to attach to the bone.

A system for orthopedic surgery comprising a client device and a plurality of position sensor units configured to communicate position information wirelessly to the client device. Each of the position sensor units comprising an anchoring means for attaching position sensor units to bone. The system further comprising an adjustable cutting block comprising an attachment portion having a recess therein for attaching the cutting block to a first of the plurality of sensor units, a cutting block portion having a second recess for attaching the cutting block to a second of the plurality of sensor units and an aperture extending through the cutting block portion for guiding a bone cutting instrument, and an intermediate portion coupling the attachment portion and the cutting block portion to each other, wherein the cutting block is therewith configured to adjustably set an orientation of the cutting instrument.

Described here are self-contained surgical navigation systems which include a head-worn display device to be worn by a user during surgery. The system includes a display generator for generating a visual display on the display device, and a sensor suite having at least one tracking camera. The system further includes a support module including: a user-replaceable, modular battery that is removably insertable into a housing of the support module, and a processor unit configured to receive data from the sensor suite and calculate a position and an orientation of at least one marker. The support module is electrically coupled to the head-worn display device to provide power and data to the head-worn display device. The display device and the support module together comprise the entire sensing and computing capability of the system, without requiring external sensors, cameras, computers, or other electrical equipment.

A method for utilizing robotic surgical data for providing surgical training is disclosed. The method includes collecting, by a computing device, data related to a surgical procedure from one or more components of a computer-assisted surgical system. At least one of the one or more components is a robotically controlled surgical device. A graphical depiction representative of the surgical procedure is generated based on the collected data from the one or more components of the computer-assisted surgical system and one or more images providing a visual depiction of a patient's anatomy. A graphical user interface is output to a display device. The graphical user interface includes the graphical depiction of the surgical procedure and the collected data from the one or more components of the computer-assisted surgical system, to provide surgical training.

A method for utilizing robotic surgical data for a long term episode of care is disclosed. The method includes collecting data related to a surgical episode of care for a patient comprising pre-operative data, intraoperative data, and post-operative data. The intraoperative data is collected from one or more components of a computer-assisted surgical system. At least one of the one or more components is a robotically controlled surgical device. An analysis of the data related to the surgical episode of care is performed to evaluate one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care. A graphical depiction representative of the one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care is generated based on the performed analysis. A graphical user interface is output to a display device, the graphical user interface comprising the graphical depiction of the one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care.

A method for creating a patient-specific surgical plan includes receiving one or more pre-operative images of a patient having one or more infirmities affecting one or more anatomical joints, three-dimensional anatomical model of the one or more anatomical joints is created based on the one or more pre-operative images. One or more transfer functions and the three-dimensional anatomical model are used to identify a patient-specific implantation geometry that corrects the one or more infirmities. The transfer functions model performance of the one or more anatomical joints as a function of anatomical geometry and anatomical implantation features, surgical plan comprising the patient-specific implantation geometry may then be displayed.

Embodiments of a system and method for surgical tracking and control are generally described herein. A system may include a robotic arm configured to allow interactive movement and controlled autonomous movement of an end effector, a cut guide mounted to the end effector of the robotic arm, the cut guide configured to guide a surgical instrument within a plane, a tracking system to determine a position and an orientation of the cut guide, and a control system to permit or prevent interactive movement or autonomous movement of the end effector.
