Mixed-reality surgical system with physical markers for registration of virtual models
An example method includes obtaining, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of a patient obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy; identifying, based on data obtained by one or more sensors, positions of one or more physical markers positioned relative to the anatomy of the patient; and registering, based on the identified positions, the virtual model of the portion of the anatomy with a corresponding observed portion of the anatomy.
REAMER AND GUIDE FOR GLENOID AUGMENT PREPARATION
The present disclosure provides reaming apparatuses. The reaming apparatuses can comprise a base guide, a reamer, and a reamer driver. The base guide can define a base guide through bore and a base guide articulating surface. The base guide articulating surface can be oriented at an angle relative to the base guide through bore. The reamer can define a reamer articulating surface operable to allow rotation of the reamer on the base guide articulating surface. The reamer driver can operate with the reamer to cause rotation of the reamer when the reamer driver rotates.
METHOD OF IMPLANTING A GLENOID ASSEMBLY
A method of implanting a glenoid assembly, includes forming a first bore in a glenoid region of a scapula and inserting a first peg of a glenoid component into the first bore. The method includes plastically deforming a first passageway within the first peg, while the first peg is inserted into the first bore, by inserting a first stiffening pin into the first passageway.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREPARING BONE FOR RECEIVING AN IMPLANT
A method of performing arthroplasty of an anatomical joint for receipt of an implant is disclosed. The method includes developing a preoperative plan, designing a patient specific guide based on the preoperative plan, obtaining the patient specific guide, placing the patient specific guide relative to the identified bone, fixing a pair of pins into the bone to establish an Alpha plane and executing the preoperative plan while referencing the Alpha plane. A desired amount of remaining first bone is determined based on a condition of the anatomical joint and a desired orientation of the implant. The patient specific guide includes a pair of bores defined therein and located in positions to accept a complementary pair of pins. The bores are arranged at locations on the patient specific guide to orient the respective pins in a direction optimized for surgeon access to the first bone and to establish the Alpha plane.
Shoulder implants and assembly
An implant is disclosed that has a base member, an articulating member, and a coupling portion that secures the base member to the articulating member. The implant can be a shoulder implant (100, 200, 300) that has a baseplate (102, 230, 310), an articulating component (104, 210), and a fixation component (106, 270, 342). The baseplate includes a first side (110, 234, 314) with a projection (108, 240, 320) that has a first Morse taper and may be offset from a center line of the baseplate and a second side (116, 236, 316) that has a post or stem (114, 250, 330) that is offset from the center line of the baseplate. The articulating component includes a cavity (122, 220) with a second Morse taper that is offset from a center line of the articulating component. The articulating component is attachable to the baseplate when the projection is received in the cavity of the articulation component. A threaded through hole (130, 222) extends from the cavity of the articulating component to a second, convex side or articulating surface (120, 212) thereof. The through hole can be aligned with the cavity. The fixation component (106, 270, 342) can engage the through hole and is contained within a cavity (132, 322, 242) of the baseplate by a spring (138, 262, 360) and a cap (140), a second fixation member (280), or an engagement member (370).
SELF-SWITCHING TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY, BALLOON, AND PROSTHESIS FOR USE IN SHOULDER JOINT
Disclosed are a self-switching transmission assembly, a balloon, and a prosthesis for use in a shoulder joint. The self-switching transmission assembly comprises: a communicating tube (11, 11′, 11″) comprising an input end (111, 111′, 111″) and an output end (112, 112′, 112″); an external connection tube (12, 12′, 12″), an end portion thereof being insertable into the communicating tube (11, 11′, 11″) from the input end (111, 111′, 111″) and removable from the communicating tube (11, 11′, 11″) from the input end (111, 111′, 111″); and a sealing tube (13, 13′, 13″), which can be placed in a tube body of the communicating tube (11, 11′, 11″) and moved axially relative to the tube body of the communicating tube (11, 11′, 11″). The sealing tube (13, 13′, 13″) comprises a connection end (131, 131′, 131″) and a sealing end (132, 132′, 132″), the connection end (131, 131′, 131″) being detachably connected to the end portion of the external connection tube (12, 12′, 12″) by means of a connection driving mechanism, and the sealing end (132, 132′, 132″) being provided with a pass-through region, wherein, when the pass-through region is exposed outside of the output end (112, 112′, 112″), the self-switching transmission assembly is in a pass-through state, and when the pass-through region is placed inside the tube body of the communicating tube (11, 11′, 11″), the self-switching transmission assembly is in a sealed and blocked state.
Soft glenoid awning and related repair procedures
Systems and methods for opposing abnormal motion of an adjacent bone are provided. One exemplary embodiment of a surgical method includes delivering and securing a bone barrier to a bone bed of a glenoid such that at least a portion of the bone barrier extends laterally beyond the bone bed and can oppose, prevent, and/or reduce abnormal motion of an adjacent bone (e.g., a humeral head). The bone barrier can be secured along a periphery of a glenoid of a shoulder. More particularly, the bone barrier can be placed and secured such that at least a portion of the bone barrier extends laterally over the glenoid and can oppose abnormal motion of the humeral head. In some embodiments at least one suture anchor and suture can secure the bone barrier to the bone bed.
Robotic shoulder fracture management
A method of repairing a fractured humerus may include implanting a prosthetic humeral stem into a humeral canal of the fractured humerus. First and second tuberosities of the fractured humerus may be robotically machined to include first and second implant-facing surfaces that are substantially negatives of first and second surface portions of the proximal end of the prosthetic humeral stem. The first and second tuberosities may be machined so that the first and second tuberosities have first and second interlocking surfaces shaped to interlock with each other. During implantation, the first and second implant-facing surfaces are in contact with the first and second surface portions of the proximal end of the prosthetic humeral stem, and the first interlocking surface interlocks with the second interlocking surface.
SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY SYSTEMS AND CONFIGURATIONS FOR COMPONENTS THEREOF
Shoulder arthroplasty systems and configurations for components thereof are described. For example, implant systems for a total should arthroplasty (TSA), hemi shoulder arthroplasty, and reverse should arthroplasty (RSA) are described. In addition, exemplary configurations for baseplates, glenoid components, glenosphere components, humeral components, humeral head components, humerosocket components, connectors, and adaptors, are described.
