OFFSET SELECTOR
Disclosed is an offset selector for determining an offset between an anchoring section and a joint section of a joint implant component. The offset selector comprising a reference portion for determining an offset, a first adjustment device for implementing the offset, and a second adjustment device for adjusting the orientation of the offset to the reference portion. The first and the second adjustment devices are coupled to each another. One of the first adjustment device and a second adjustment device are connected to the reference portion and the other one of the first adjustment device and the second adjustment device is connected to an adjustment portion. The adjustment portion being movable relative to the reference portion.
Predrilling guide for knee osteotomy fixation plate
A guide for guiding drill bits to form holes in a bone in a predetermined pattern for receiving fasteners to secure an implant to the bone is provided. The guide includes a guide body having a bone interface side opposite an operative side, the bone interface side having a bone contacting surface engageable with a surface of the bone. The guide also includes a plurality of drill guides extending from the operative side of the guide body for guiding corresponding drill bits, wherein the bone contacting surface of the guide body is configured to substantially conform to surface contours of the bone at a predetermined position on the bone. A method of designing the guide is also provided.
Orthopaedic knee prosthesis system and methods for using same
An orthopaedic prosthesis system and associated instrumentation is disclosed. The system includes femoral and tibial components configured to be used in a number of different implanted configurations. The instrumentation is configured to facilitate preparation of the bones and selection of the implant configuration. A method of using the system is also disclosed.
ROBOTIC KNEE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE AND INSTRUMENTS
A system for performing at least a portion of a robotic knee arthroplasty can include a robotic surgical device including an end effector configured to receive a trial component removably connected thereto. The trial component can be engageable with a resected bone. The system can include a processor communicatively coupled to the surgical robot. The processor can be configured to determine a characteristic of the resected bone. The processor can be configured to plan a placement location of the trial component on the resected bone based on the determined characteristic of the resected bone. The processor can be configured to move the end effector to position the trial component on the resected bone based on the determined characteristic of the resected bone and based on the plan.
Computer modeling procedures for surgical simulation and planning
A system and method for streamlining inventory and ordering for certain surgical supplies. The method includes scanning, by an imaging device, a surgical site and receiving, by a processor communicatively coupled to the imaging device, data from the scan. The method also includes the processor analyzing the data, where the analyzing includes searching the data to identify predefined key features in the data that are parameters utilized by a Statistical Shape Model (SSM). The processor applies the SSM to generate a three dimensional replica of a predetermined portion of the surgical site. The processor also defines, based on the replica, at last one of: surgical planes or orientations. The processor then utilizes the replica and the surgical planes or orientations to select a solution.
Customized patient-specific surgical instrument systems and methods
An orthopaedic surgical instrument comprising a metallic customized patient-specific surgical instrument is disclosed. The metallic customized patient-specific surgical instrument includes a base plate sized to be positioned on a resected surface of a distal end of a patient's femur, an anterior resection guide body attached to, and extending from, the distal surface of the base plate to a free distal end, a posterior resection guide body attached to, and extending from, the distal surface to a free distal end, and a pair of chamfer resection guide bodies attached to, and extending from, the distal surface.
Surgical guide assembly for performing a knee osteotomy procedure
A surgical guide assembly for performing a knee osteotomy procedure, the assembly comprising: a body for securing to a patient's tibia bone; and a plurality of guide modules removably attachable to the body, each guide module being adapted to receive a corresponding surgical tool and to guide the corresponding surgical tool along a predetermined path during the knee osteotomy procedure.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GUIDING AN OSTEOTOMY PROCEDURE
The present disclosure relates to a method for guiding an osteotomy procedure on at least one bone selected from a tibia and a femur pertaining to a patient's lower limb to correct a misalignment of said lower limb, wherein a tibial tracker is fixed to the tibia and a femoral tracker is fixed to the femur, comprising: receiving at least one target alignment parameter of the lower limb; determining a position of a set of characteristic points on at least one of the tibia and the femur relative to at least one of the tibial tracker and the femoral tracker; applying mechanical constraints to the lower limb to bring the lower limb in a constrained position simulating laxities and/or soft tissues influence tracking positions of said characteristic points relative to at least one of the tibial tracker and the femoral tracker based on localization data of the set of characteristic points during application of said mechanical constraints, determining at least one alignment parameter of the lower limb in said constrained position, based on the positions of the characteristic points; based on the at least one target alignment parameter and on the at least one alignment parameter of the lower limb in the constrained position, determining at least one correction parameter of the osteotomy procedure to be applied to the lower limb to achieve the target alignment parameter.
