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.
SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS
A cement restrictor inserter instrument (130) comprises an inserter (131) having a handle (132) at a proximal end, a cement restrictor attachment formation (137) at a distal end for releasably attaching a cement restrictor (150), a shaft (136) extending from the proximal end to the distal end and a stop (138) on the shaft and between the proximal end and the distal end; and a body (140) having a shape corresponding to the shape of an orthopaedic prosthetic implant, a spacer (142), a visible depth guide feature (190) and a releasable attachment mechanism by which the body is releasably attachable to the shaft, and wherein the spacer is configured to position the visible depth guide feature at a fixed position relative to the inserter when the spacer abuts the stop corresponding to a target cement restrictor position when the visible depth guide feature is aligned with a feature of a bone of a patient in which the cement restrictor is to be inserted.
System and Method for Computer-Aided Surgical Navigation Implementing 3D Scans
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.
Multifunctional spacer for knee surgery to achieve balanced resection
A multifunctional spacer for knee surgery is described comprising a main body configured for use with a single femoral condyle and having an anterior portion of a first height and a posterior portion of a second height, wherein the second height is greater than, equal to or less than the first height. In addition, the anterior portion and/or the posterior portion is provided with an attachment mechanism for selective attachment of a height adjuster.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A TIBIAL BASEPLATE SYSTEM
A tibial baseplate system is described. While the system can include any suitable component, in some instances, it includes tibial baseplate having a first and second surface, the second surface being substantially opposite to the first surface, which is configured to be seated on a resected surface at a proximal end of a tibia. In some cases, the baseplate also includes a first spacer coupling that is configured to couple a first spacer to at least one of a lateral side and a medial side of the baseplate such that the spacer is disposed between, and is configured to maintain a set minimal distance between, the proximal end of the tibia and a distal end of a femur when the tibial baseplate is seated on the resected surface at the proximal end of the tibia and the spacer is coupled to the tibial baseplate. Other implementations are discussed.
Methods and devices for surgical access
A surgical instrument assembly includes a support frame system, and a surgical tool engageable with the support frame system. The support frame system is adapted for providing a surgical tool attachment and articulation locus that is maintained during the course of a surgical procedure to direct a fixed and repeatable delivery path for introduction and manipulation of one or more surgical instruments and implants at a surgical site in or on the patient's anatomy. The delivery path can be substantially curvilinear along an arc that is defined by a radius of curvature and length defined by the surgical tool, and a predetermined range of articulation of the tool at the articulation locus.

Humeral Head and Cup Trial with Flexure
Disclosed herein is a humeral head and cup trials, a system for humeral trialing, and a method for removing a humeral head and cup trial from a humeral stem. The humeral trial may include a first portion, a second portion, and a post extending from the second portion. The first portion may define an articular surface. The post may define a first length in a first configuration and a second length in a second configuration. The first length may be greater than the second length. The post may change from the first configuration to the second configuration by moving the first portion with respect to the second portion.
Cervical disc and instrumentation
A spinal implant configured for positioning within a space between adjacent vertebral bodies includes an upper end plate including an outer surface extending between first and second end surfaces and opposed side surfaces. The outer surface includes a first convex profile extending between the first and second end surfaces and a second convex profile extending between the opposed side surfaces. The first convex profile and the second convex profile have different curvatures. The spinal implant further includes a lower end plate and a core disposed between the upper and lower end plates and coupled thereto. A method of assembling a spinal implant and a method of performing spinal surgery are also disclosed.
Shoulder arthroplasty system method with combination humeral sizer, trial, and guide
A shoulder arthroplasty kit includes a combination sizer and guide device with a base portion including a rim configured to be positioned against a resected surface of a humerus. A cavity which is configured to receive a mounting portion of a humeral base component extends proximally from the base portion, the cavity. The combination sizer and guide device includes a convex outer surface which replicates at least a part of an outer bearing surface of a humeral head component. A bore which is perpendicular to the distal plane extends between the cavity and the convex outer surface. The kit further includes a guide pin with a maximum diameter sized to fit within the bore such that the guide pin is guided by the bore during insertion of the guide pin into the resected surface of the humerus.
