A device for registering a bone for a robotic knee arthroplasty with a surgical robot can include a plate and a registration device. The plate can be engageable with the bone and can include a lateral portion, a medial portion, and a hinge. The registration device can be connected to the plate and can be configured to interface with the surgical robot for registration of the plate and the bone.

A system of prosthetic implants for a total knee replacement procedure is provided. The system includes a tibial component of a knee joint implant, a tibial insert configured to be positioned against the superior side of the platform of the tibial component, a first femoral component of a knee joint implant, and a second femoral component of a knee joint implant.

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.

Described here are systems and methods for positioning a surgical implant, such as a glenoid component, or other medical device intra-operatively. In general, the systems and methods described in the present disclosure implement a computer vision system, which may be a structured light computer vision system, together with a suitable optical tracker as an accurate intra-operative tool for predicting post-operative implant position in surgical procedures.

The present invention provides, in certain embodiments, a device for determining the tibial mechanical axis and the femoral mechanical axis. The present invention also provides a surgical orientation device, a reference device, and/or a module configured to track the mechanical axes during movement to facilitate limb alignment. The present invention further provides the surgical orientation device, the reference device, and/or the module configured to determine a gap measurement.

A surgical navigation system for providing computer-aided surgery. The surgical navigation system includes a handheld surgical tool with computer-aided navigation, a graphical user interface module, and optionally an imaging device. The handheld surgical tool includes a handle that may comprise at least one sensor for detecting orientation of the. A computing device and at least one display device are associated with the handheld surgical tool and configured to display a target trajectory of the handheld surgical tool for the surgical procedure.

The biocompatible lattice structures and implants disclosed herein have an increased or optimized lucency, even when constructed from a metallic material. The lattice structures can also provide an increased or optimized lucency in a material that is not generally considered to be radiolucent. Lucency can include disparity, maximum variation in lucency properties across a structure, or dispersion, minimum variation in lucency properties across a structure. The implants and lattice structures disclosed herein may be optimized for disparity or dispersion in any desired direction. A desired direction with respect to lucency can include the anticipated x-ray viewing direction of an implant in the expected implantation orientation.

An electronically assisted artificial vertebral disc having an upper disc plate and a lower disc plate is disclosed. An actuator imparts movement to at least one of the upper and lower disc plates. A control device controls the actuator and the amount of movement between the disc plates. The actuator includes a plurality of either linear actuators or rotary actuators that are driven by electric motors in response to the control device. The control device includes at least a first sensor for detecting the position of the actuator and at least a second sensor for detecting the spatial orientation of at least one of the upper and lower disc plates. The control device also preferably includes a microprocessor that calculates the desired positions of the upper and lower disc plates and provides a control signal to the actuator to drive the upper and lower disc plates to their desired positions.

The subject matter includes systems, methods, and prosthetic devices for joint reconstruction surgery. A computer-assisted intraoperating planning method can include accessing a first medical image providing a first view of a joint within a surgical site as well as receiving selection of a first component of a modular prosthetic device implanted in the first bone of the joint. The method continues by displaying a graphical representation of the first component of the modular prosthetic device overlaid on the first medical image, and updating a graphical representation of the first component based on receiving positioning inputs representative of an implant location of the first component relative to landmarks on the first bone visible within the first medical image. The method concludes by presenting a selection interface enabling visualization of additional components of the modular prosthetic device virtually connected to the first component and overlaid on the first medical image.
