Various embodiments disclosed relate to a method for producing an implant model and associated systems. The method can include receiving patient specific data, producing a preliminary implant model based on the received patient specific data, running a simulation on the preliminary implant model to produce a revised implant model with a range of motion zone using the patient specific kinematics, optimizing the preliminary implant model with a dynamic simulation to determine a cup anteversion angle, analyzing the revised implant model for spino-pelvic risk, and outputting the implant model.

Devices and methods for performing a surgical step or surgical procedure with visual guidance using an optical head mounted display are disclosed.

Devices and methods for performing a surgical step or surgical procedure with visual guidance using an optical head mounted display are disclosed.

A surgical or arthroscopic method for resurfacing at least one surface of a hip joint of a human patient, using a medical device comprising an artificial hip joint surface, wherein the hip joint surface comprising an acetabulum surface and a caput femur surface, said method comprising the steps of: creating at least one hole passing into the hip joint, dissecting and preparing the hip joint, introducing at least one artificial hip joint surface, comprising at least one of an artificial acetabulum surface and an artificial caput femur surface, wherein said at least one artificial hip joint surface, comprising a first sealing member, creating a sealed hollow space between said first sealing member and one of the acetabulum surface or said artificial acetabulum surface and one of the caput femur surface or said artificial caput femur surface, selecting at least one artificial hip joint surface and injecting a material into said hollow space.

Systems and methods for ascertaining a position of an orthopedic element in space comprising: capturing a first and second images of an orthopedic element in different reference frames using a radiographic imaging technique, detecting spatial data defining anatomical landmarks on or in the orthopedic element using a deep learning network, applying a mask to the orthopedic element defined by an anatomical landmark, projecting the spatial data from the first image and the second image to define volume data, applying the deep learning network to the volume data to generate a reconstructed three-dimensional model of the orthopedic element; and mapping the three-dimensional model of the orthopedic element to the spatial data to determine the position of the three-dimensional model of the orthopedic element in three-dimensional space.

A method for creating space in a joint formed at the convergence of two bones, the method comprising: applying force to a body part so as to separate the two bones from one another by a distance which is greater than the distance that they are normally separated from one another when the joint is in a healthy state, whereby to distract the joint and create an intrajoint space; inserting an assembly of three balloons into the intrajoint space while the assembly of three balloons is in a contracted condition; expanding the assembly of three balloons within the intrajoint space; and reducing the force applied to the body part so that the joint is supported on the assembly of three balloons, with the two bones remaining separated from one another by a distance which is greater than the distance that they are normally separated from one another when the joint is in a healthy state.

This disclosure relates to surgical devices and methods for repairing bone defects. The defect indicators disclosed herein may be utilized to indicate a precise location of the defect associated with an articular surface of a joint.

The present invention relates to an implant (10) comprising an implant body having a first surface area (A1, A2, A3, A4) configured for contact with soft connective tissue and a second surface area configured for contact with bone tissue, wherein the first surface area is covered with a coating comprising tantalum and the second surface area is formed by a material, which is different than the one forming the coating.
