Augmented and/or mixed reality systems for performing various types of arthroplasty are provided, along with methods of performing various types of arthroplasty using such augmented reality systems. More particularly, the augmented and/or mixed reality system and method is used to achieve accurate bone preparation, implant placement and orientation, and biomechanical restoration in orthopaedic arthroplasty procedures. Preparation, implantation, and adjustment of arthroplasty surgical sites, prosthetic components, and tailoring and positioning of installed prosthetic components can be guided using augmented reality overlays, projections, or combined imaging of a surgeon's real-world view.

A method for visualizing and targeting anatomical structures inside a patient utilizing a handheld screen device may include grasping the handheld screen device and manipulating a position of the handheld screen device relative to the patient. The handheld screen device may include a camera and a display. The method may also include orienting the camera on the handheld screen device relative to an anatomical feature of the patient by manipulating the position of the handheld screen device relative to the patient, capturing first image data of light reflecting from a surface of the anatomical feature with the camera on the handheld screen device, and comparing the first image data with a pre-operative 3-D image of the patient to determine a location of an anatomical structure located inside the patient and positioned relative to the anatomical feature of the patient.

The present disclosure relates generally to hernia repair, and more specifically to forming a custom fitted mesh based on a topographical map of at least one portion of a patient's abdominal cavity. Some specific aspects of the present disclosure relate to exemplary methods, systems, devices and computer readable mediums for forming a custom fitted mesh based on a topographical map of the at least one portion of the patient's abdominal cavity.

The present invention provides a robotic navigation system for identifying a target nerve for guiding and/or performing the implanting a neuromodulation device at the target nerve wherein the neuromodulation device includes a pulse generator and at least one lead in electrical or operative connection with the pulse generator. In some embodiments, the location of the robotically advanced lead and electrode may be imaged and displayed on a display and/or may be visually annunciated using one or more lights to indicate whether the placement location of the lead or electrode is within or outside of a predetermined distance of the target nerve.

A computer assisted surgical system that includes an apparatus for imaging a region of interest of a portion of an anatomy of a subject; a memory containing executable instructions; and a processor programmed using the instructions to receive two or more two-dimensional images of the region of interest taken at different angles from the apparatus and process the two or more two-dimensional images to produce three dimensional information associated with the region of interest.

A method of generating a correction plan for correcting a deformed bone includes inputting to a computer system a first image of the deformed bone in a first plane and inputting to the computer system a second image of the deformed bone in a second plane. Image processing techniques are employed to identify a plurality of anatomical landmarks of the deformed bone in the first image. The first image of the deformed bone is displayed on a display device. A graphical of the deformed bone is autonomously generated and graphically overlaid on the first image of the deformed bone on the display device, the graphical template including a plurality of lines, each line connected at each end to a landmark point corresponding to one of the anatomical landmarks. A model of the deformed bone may be autonomously generated based on the graphical template.

A drill guide fixture may be configured to prepare a skull for attachment of a cranial insertion fixture. The drill guide fixture may include a central drill guide and a bone anchor guide at a base of the drill guide fixture. The central drill guide may define a central drill guide hole therethrough, wherein the central drill guide hole has a first opening at a base of the drill guide fixture and a second opening spaced apart from the base of the drill guide fixture. The bone anchor drill guide may define a bone anchor drill guide hole therethrough, and the bone anchor drill guide hole may be offset from the central drill guide hole in a direction that is perpendicular with respect to a direction of the central drill guide hole. Related cranial insertion fixtures, robotic systems, and methods are also discussed.

Systems and methods for motion mode management include a computer-assisted device having an input control, a repositionable structure, and a controller coupled to the input control and the repositionable structure. The controller is configured to detect motion of the input control for controlling motion of the repositionable structure and in response to determining that the motion of the input control is likely to be confused with a first portion of a motion of the input control for indicating that a mode of operation of the computer-assisted device is to be changed, temporarily disable mode switching in response to motion of the input control.

Robotic surgical systems and methods of operating robotic surgical systems are included. The methods include directing light at an optical element configured to be detected by an image capture device of the robotic surgical system, the optical element configured to reflect light having a wavelength within a predetermined range, detecting, using an image capture device capturing images of the optical element, an absence or a presence of the reflected light from the optical element, and providing a notification, in response to the detection by the image capture device of the absence of the reflected light from the optical element.

Methods for treating hypertension and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed to methods for therapeutic renal neuromodulation that partially inhibit sympathetic neural activity in renal nerves proximate a renal blood vessel of a human patient having a 24-hour heart rate at or above a median heart rate for a population of hypertensive patients. This reduction in sympathetic neural activity is expected to therapeutically treat one or more conditions associated with hypertension of the patient. Renal sympathetic nerve activity can be modulated, for example, using an intravascularly positioned catheter carrying a neuromodulation assembly, e.g., a neuromodulation assembly configured to use electrically-induced, thermally-induced, and/or chemically-induced approaches to modulate the renal nerves.
