A system for assessing laxity of a joint of a patient is disclosed. The system comprises a tensioner tool having a substantially rigid portion that may be inserted within the joint to apply a force against a bone surface thereof. The system further comprises a tensioner sock having a flexible body with an opening to receive the tensioner tool and a sensor array disposed on the flexible body. Each sensor of the sensor array is configured to contact the bone surface and detect a pressure when the force is applied against the bone surface. The system further comprises a processor configured to receive the detected pressure from each sensor and calculate the force applied to the bone surface based on the detected pressures.

Logic may determine how to reduce bone segments. Logic may communicate one or more images to display with at least two bone segments. Logic may identify a first reduction point and a third point on a first bone segment and identify a second reduction point and a fourth point on the second bone segment. Logic may identify a fifth point on the first bone segment and a sixth point on the second bone segment. Logic may also divide the one or more images along a line or plane between the bone segments, bring the second reduction point and the associated image segment to the first reduction point, align the line or plane of the second bone segment with a line or plane of the first bone segment. Furthermore, logic may adjust alignment and record the movement of the image segments or compare original and final positions, to determine deformity parameters.

A system for displaying an intraoperative user interface for a surgical procedure is disclosed. The system comprises an arthroscopic imaging device, a display device, an input device, a processor, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium. The arthroscopic imaging device is configured to capture one or more images of a patient anatomy within a joint of a patient. The input device is configured to receive input from a user. The processor is configured to receive the images from the arthroscopic imaging device and display a user interface on the display device that includes the images from the arthroscopic imaging device. The processor is also configured to receive the input from the input device, display one or more visual overlays over the one or more images based on the input, and apply one or more digital markers in a fixed location on the one or more images based on the input.

A system and method of use thereof are disclosed, the system including a treatment source, such as an electrosurgical generator and a plurality of treatment devices operable to be coupled to the treatment source, one or more of the treatment devices being associated with one or more device identifiers which can be, for example, physically present on the device or contained in device software.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for switching a control scheme to control a set of system modules and/or modular devices of a surgical hub. A surgical hub may determine a first control scheme that is configured to control a set of system modules and/or modular devices. The surgical hub may receive an input from one of the set of modules or a device located in an OR. The surgical hub may make a determination that at least one of a safety status level or an overload status level of the surgical hub is higher than its threshold value. Based on at least the received input and the determination, the surgical hub may determine a second control scheme to be used to control the set of system modules. The surgical hub may send a control program indicating the second control scheme to one or more system modules and/or modular devices.

Systems and methods for image space control of a medical instrument are provided. In one example, a system is configured to display a two-dimensional medical image including a view of at least a distal end of an instrument. The system can determine, based on one or more fiducials on the instrument, a roll estimate of the instrument. The system further can receive a user input comprising a heading command to change a heading of the instrument within a plane of the medical image, or an incline command to change an incline of the instrument into or out of the plane of the medical image. Based on the roll estimate and the user input, the system can generate one or more motor commands configured to cause a robotic system coupled to the medical instrument to move the robotic medical instrument.

Surgical instrument tracking systems, methods and devices are described. The system can include tracking devices configured to detect location events. The tracking device can include sensors, circuits, power sources, memories, and radio interface. The tracking devices can automatically determine a location of the tracking device when the tracking device detects a location event. The tracking device can automatically transmit the location and information related to the location event to a data analytics platform. The data analytics platform can allow a user to track multiple surgical instruments and surgical instrument tray in order to accurately determine when surgical instruments should be replaced, and how efficiently the surgical instruments are used.

Computer-implemented methods for modeling a surgical correction for a patient, and associated systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the method includes obtaining patient data. The image data can depict a native anatomical configuration of a region of a patient's spine. The method also includes generating a virtual model of the patient's spine in the native anatomical configuration and/or a corrected anatomical configuration. The method can also include identifying one or more soft tissue surgical steps, predicting an effect of the soft tissue surgical steps, and generating a surgical plan for achieving the corrected anatomical configuration. The soft tissue surgical step can adjust an intraoperative mobility of vertebrae of the spine to achieve the corrected anatomical configuration. The surgical plan includes at least one of the soft tissue surgical steps to help facilitate movement of the vertebrae to the corrected anatomical configuration.

A system may render, within a graphical user interface associated with a computer-assisted medical system, a graphical tag element associated with a physical location within a region of interest. The system may detect a user interaction with the graphical tag element. The system may further direct, in response to the detecting of the user interaction with the graphical tag element, the computer-assisted medical system to adjust a pose of an instrument based on the physical location within the region of interest.
