Abstract: The present invention includes a method for generating a three-dimensional model of a bone. The method may further include generating a cut plan for excavating a portion of the bone according to the cut plan to allow the insertion of a custom implant. In a particular arrangement, the method may includes excavating the bone with an autonomous extremity excavator utilizing the cut plan generated by a processor. In a further arrangement, the method may include generating a digital model of a custom implant and generating, using the digital model, a physical model sharing the same dimensions as the digital module using manufacturing device.

Abstract: A tibial tray system for a resurfaced proximal portion of a tibia for a knee replacement for a patient includes a tibial tray and at least one screw. The tibial tray includes a body having a superior portion, and an inferior tibia-engaging portion having a peripheral inferiorly-extending portion receivable in the at least one cavity formed in the periphery of the resected cancellous bone surface of the tibia of the patient. In some embodiments in the total knee replacement, a greater portion of a shearing force acting transversely on the tibial tray and the resected portion of the proximal portion of the tibia of the patient is resisted by the at least one inferiorly-extending wall compared to a portion of the shearing force being resisted along the center inferior surface of the tibial tray and the resected cancellous bone surface. The screw inhibits lift-off.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining, via one or more processors, three-dimensional data representing a patient's bone, obtaining, via the one or more processors, three-dimensional data representing at least portions of a patient specific bone jig, the patient specific bone jig having an inner surface portion matched to an outer surface portion of the patient's bone, obtaining, via the one or more processors, image data representing the at least portions of the patient specific bone jig registered to the patient's bone, and generating, via the one or more processors, data representing a location and an orientation of the patient's bone based on the obtained image data, the obtained three-dimensional data representing the patient specific bone jig, and the obtained three-dimensional data representing the patient's bone. In another embodiment, a patient specific bone jig with predetermined spatial indicia registered to a portion of the patient's bone may be employed with point sampling.

Abstract: A surgical method includes, for example, tracking, via at least one camera attached to a robotic arm of a surgical robot, a surgical site of a patient, the robotic arm having a plurality of joints and a plurality of body parts, controlling the robotic arm to perform a surgical procedure at the surgical site of the patient based on the camera tracked surgical site of the patient, and wherein the tracking comprises controlling the movement of the plurality of joints and body parts of the robotic arm to maintain a line of sight of the at least one camera directed towards the surgical site of the patient.

Abstract: A surgical method includes, for example, positioning a patient relative to a robot, moving an end effector of the robot relative to a surgical site of a patient, defining a go-zone and a no-go-zone associated with the surgical site based on the moving the end effector of the robot relative to the patient, and effecting a surgical procedure at the surgical site of the patient with a tool attached to the end effector of the robot based on the defined go-zone and the defined no-go-zone, and wherein the effecting the surgical procedure maintains the tool in the defined go-zone and avoids contact with the defined no-go-zone.

Abstract: A tibial tray for a resurfaced proximal portion of a tibia for a knee replacement for a patient includes, for example, a body having a superior portion, and an inferior tibia-engaging portion having a peripheral inferiorly-extending portion contactable with an underlying cortical bone and/or spaced apart from the underlying inner surface of the cortical of the tibia of the patient. In some embodiments in the total knee replacement, a greater portion of a shearing force acting transversely on the tibial tray and the resected portion of the proximal portion of the tibia of the patient is resisted by the at least one inferiorly-extending wall and the periphery of the resected proximal portion of the tibia compared to a portion of the shearing force being resisted along the center inferior surface of the tibial tray and the resected cancellous bone surface. Methods, robotic systems, and cutting guides are also disclosed.
