TOTAL WRIST PROSTHESIS AND RELATED METHODS
A tool for locating the insertion point of a radial component of a wrist prosthesis on a human distal radius bone, the guide comprising a handle; a guide face attached to the handle, the guide face being of a shape configured to engage an articular surface of the distal radius bone; the guide face comprising three visual cues respectively adapted to align with a palmar corner of a radio-ulnar joint located on the distal radius, a dorsal corner of a radio-ulnar joint located on the distal radius, and a tip of a radial styloid located on the distal radius; the guide face further comprising an opening designating the insertion point, the opening being at a designated location on the guide face relative to the visual cues; and the opening adapted to facilitate the marking of the insertion point on the articular surface of the distal radius bone.
System and method for intraoperative surgical planning
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.
Device for inserting a surgical implant
A device for forcefully inserting a surgical implant in a recipient bone by impaction, comprising an impactor (10) that exerts an impaction force on the implant and is associated with at least one sensor (12). The sensor (12) measures a value from among the exerted impaction force and the deformation of the impactor (10) and provides a measurement signal representing the temporal variation of said value during an impact. The sensor (12) is connected to a processing unit (30) that is configured to compute, on the basis of the temporal variation of said value during the impact, an indicator representing the level of contact between the implant and the recipient bone. The indicator corresponds to the duration separating the instant corresponding to the first maximum amplitude peak of the measurement signal from the instant corresponding to the second maximum amplitude peak of the measurement signal. The implant can be a femoral rod (2).
Sizer, introducer and template device
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a Sizer, Introducer, and Cutting Template Device. Embodiments find particular use as a sizer, introducer, and cutting template device for an orbital floor implant surgery. The disclosed device allows a surgeon or other practitioner to use a single component for sizing, introducing, and cutting a template for an orbital floor implant.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USING PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR INTRAOPERATIVELY ALIGNING SURGICAL ELEMENTS
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.
OFFSET ADAPTERS, TRIAL IMPLANT SYSTEMS, AND IMPLANT SYSTEMS ALLOWING FOR SELECTABLE ECCENTRICITY
The present disclosure is directed offset adapters, trial implant systems, shoulder implant systems, and methods for total shoulder replacement, wherein the eccentricity of a humeral head relative to a humeral anchor and resected proximal portion of a humerus is selectable by a surgeon. A humeral head implant system includes a humeral head, an adapter, and humeral anchor. An offset adapter is operable to connect the humeral head to a humeral anchor. The offset adapter includes a first tapered cylindrical portion having a first axis, a second tapered cylindrical portion having a second axis, and the first axis being eccentrically disposed relative to the second axis of the adapter. A trial humeral head system includes a trial humeral head, a pin guide, and a trial adapter.
Acetabular guide
An orthopedic guide that can comprise a base, a first attachment and a second attachment is disclosed. The base can have a plurality of connection features spaced from one another along a longitudinal extent. The base can be configured to seat on a rim of a bone. The first attachment can be selectively coupled to the base at a first end portion thereof and can be selectively coupled to the base at a second end portion thereof. The first attachment can be arch shaped when coupled to the base. The first attachment can define a first plurality of apertures. The second attachment can be selectively coupled to the base at a first end portion thereof and can be selectively coupled to the base at a second end portion thereof. The second attachment can be arch shaped when coupled to the base. The first attachment can define a second plurality of apertures.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VERIFICATION OF LOCATION DURING SURGERY
A verification instrument configured to verify the location of a surgical end-effector, including: a body; a navigation element disposed and configured to represent a spatial location of the body; a first clip extending from the body configured to clip onto a tool; a length measurement portion disposed at a first angle from the body, wherein the length measurement portion is configured to contact a tool tip when the first clip is clipped onto the tool.
TIBIAL SIZING GUIDE
An assembly for sizing a tibia includes a plurality of tibial sizing guides. Each of the tibial sizing guides includes a tibial sizing template. The tibial sizing templates are each of different dimensions to accommodate different sizes of cut tibia surfaces.
SOFT TISSUE BALANCING IN KNEE REPLACEMENT
A surgical planning method carried out by a data processing apparatus that comprises determining a lateral force-distance characteristic for each of a plurality of knee flexion angles, determining a medial force-distance characteristic for each of the plurality of knee flexion angles, using a lateral force-distance characteristic to determine a lateral knee gap distance corresponding to a target force for at least one of the plurality of knee flexion angles, and using a medial force-displacement characteristic to determine a medial knee gap distance corresponding to a target force for at least one of the plurality of knee flexion angles. The method also comprises outputting the lateral knee gap distance corresponding to the target force and the medial knee gap distance corresponding to the target force as a function of knee flexion angle.
