Publication number: 20240148452Abstract: 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.
