Abstract: A surgical imaging apparatus includes an imager configured to capture image data in a field of view and an elongated probe extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The distal end has a distal window through which the field of view is aligned. A controller is in communication with the imager and configured to detect a feature in the image data and identify a feature location of the feature in the image data. The controller further monitors the feature location in the image data. In response to a change in the feature location from a first position to a second position, the controller calculates an estimated force applied to the elongated probe.

Abstract: Surgical systems and methods are provided that utilize augmented reality navigation and visualization techniques for transferring aspects of a preoperative surgical plan to an actual surgical site. The surgical systems and methods may be utilized to achieve accurate alignment of a surgical positioning object, such as a guide pin for guiding surgical reaming procedures, between the preoperative surgical plan and the intraoperative anatomy associated with the actual surgical site. Augmented reality may be utilized to achieve visualization of both an entry point and a drilling trajectory of the surgical positioning object in a manner that avoids occluding the intraoperative anatomy during the procedure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for determining an adjustment prescription of an external fixation device affixed to anatomical structures. The methods include obtaining at least two digital radiographic images of differing orientations of the external fixation device and anatomical structures in an initial arrangement. The methods also include identifying fiducial markers of the external fixation device and an axis of the anatomical structures in the at least two radiographic images. The methods include providing a virtual manipulatable three-dimensional model of the external fixation device and the anatomical structures. The methods include providing an adjustment prescription of strut assemblies of the external fixation device based on a user determined desired arrangement of the anatomical structures that rearranges the anatomical structures from the initial arrangement to the desired arrangement via at least one user selected waypoint.

Abstract: Surgical constructs, assemblies and methods of elbow repair and reconstruction. A center of rotation guide has specific dimensions configured to be secured on either the lateral or medial side of the elbow. At one end, the guide is provided with a plurality of full concentric through-holes (circles of different diameters) with bisecting lines every 90 degrees to identify the center of rotation on the lateral and medial epicondyle. At another end, the guide is provided with a linear pattern of through-holes or apertures located about the centerline of the guide. The linear pattern of through-holes identifies the attachment point on the ulnar tuberosity. The concentric and linear pattern through-holes of the guide are sized to receive instrumentation such as K-wire guides and/or drill guides. One or more spikes or tines are provided on the bottom of the guide for stabilization during use.

Abstract: Reinforced surgical constructs and methods of reinforced anchor fixation in bone, as well as associated surgical repairs are disclosed. A reinforcement (anchoring device) is loaded onto a fixation device. The fixation device can be a knotless fixation device such as a hard-body anchor, or a knotless soft anchor such as an all-suture knotless anchor. The reinforcement can consist of an anchoring device that integrates with the fixation device, to improve and aid the fixation of the device into an existing tissue hole.
