Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a surgical procedure to form a custom shaped cavity in an anatomical element are provided. A surgical tool may be oriented by a robotic arm in one direction along a first trajectory to remove a first portion of the anatomical element. The surgical tool may be oriented in at least one direction along a second trajectory to remove a second portion of the anatomical element to form a custom shaped cavity in the anatomical element.

Abstract: Systems and methods for setting an implant are provided. A robotic arm may automatically orient a screw head to a predetermined orientation relative to a pedicle screw. The screw head may be pivotably coupled to the pedicle screw. The robotic arm may lock the screw head in the predetermined position.

Abstract: A spinal implant system includes a first bone fastener including a first head and a first shaft. The first head including a medial rod receiver offset from the first shaft. A second bone fastener is provided including a second head and a second shaft. The second head including a lateral rod receiver offset from the second shaft. The shafts are configured for fixation with vertebral tissue in alignment along a selected trajectory of the vertebral tissue. Surgical instruments, implants and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting surgical outcomes are provided. A surgical plan comprising information about a planned surgery and at least one preoperative image depicting a planned surgical result and at least one postoperative image depicting an actual surgical result resulting from execution of the planned surgery may be received. The postoperative image may be registered to the preoperative image. One or more features may be automatically identified in each of the postoperative image and the preoperative image. A difference may be automatically measured in at least one parameter of each of the one or more features to yield training data. A function for predicting the difference may be generated using artificial intelligence and based on the training data. The function may be applied to an unexecuted surgical plan.
