  • Publication number: 20240148452
    Abstract: Surgical systems and methods for robotically-assisted insertion of a stem implant into a cavity of a bone. A manipulator includes a robotic arm that supports an end effector which detachably receives the stem implant. A navigation system includes a localizer to track poses of the bone and the end effector. Controller(s) coupled to the manipulator and the navigation system obtain a surgical plan defining a planned relationship between the stem implant and the bone. Based on the tracked poses and the surgical plan, the controller(s) control the manipulator to enable movement of the end effector and the stem implant to facilitate insertion of the stem implant into the cavity.

  • Patent number: 11903662
    Abstract: Surgical systems, methods and surgical planning programs to facilitate preparation of an anatomical cavity to receive a cup implant. The system includes a control system, a localizer and a robotic manipulator configured to move an energy applicator that is adapted to remove tissue. The control system obtains or generates a surgical plan that defines characteristics of cement holes to be formed within a wall of the anatomical cavity for receiving bone cement. The control system registers the surgical plan to the anatomical cavity with the localizer and controls the robotic manipulator to utilize the energy applicator to form the cement holes within the wall of the anatomical cavity according to the surgical plan.

  • Patent number: 11471226
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for robotic assisted surgery. A robotic system includes a localizer, at least one controller, and a surgical robotic manipulator which separately and detachably receives an energy applicator and an implant insertion tool that detachably receives an implant specifically for knee, hip or shoulder replacement surgery. The at least one controller determines a location within a portion of a patient's anatomy in which to form a cavity for the implant. The surgical robotic manipulator is controlled to form the cavity with the energy applicator. The surgical robotic manipulator is then controlled to insert the implant into the cavity with the implant insertion tool.

  • Patent number: 10806529
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for robotic assisted surgery. A robotic system includes a localizer, a surgical robotic manipulator, an end effector configured to be removably coupled to the manipulator, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive signals from the localizer, determine a final position of a cavity creation tool used to penetrate a portion of a patient's anatomy based on the signals received from the localizer, and determine an implant insertion path for an implant to be inserted into a final implant position within the portion of the patient's anatomy, wherein the final implant position corresponds to the final position of the cavity creation tool. The controller is also configured to move the end effector with the implant coupled thereto such that the implant moves along the implant insertion path, and terminate the movement of the end effector when the implant reaches the final implant position.

  • Publication number: 20080009953
    Abstract: A kit and a method for implanting a prosthetic acetabular cup in an acetabular has a prosthetic acetabular cup having an open end for receiving a head of a prosthetic femoral component. The cup has a flange extending outwardly from a surface thereof adjacent the open end. The flange is angled toward the acetabulum. The acetabulum is prepared to receive the prosthetic acetabular cup, the preparation includes forming a circumferential rim shaped seat in the bone around the acetabulum. The cup flange has a maximum diameter less than the outer diameter of the circumferential rim.
